TACTICALLY NEW BOYS' DOR-
MITORY GREETS YOUNG MEN
ON THEIR RETURN
During the summer vacation the Old
Selinsgrove Hall was completely re-
modeled. It was a treat to the eyes of
the students when they returned to
see the extensive alterations which
had been made. It is practically a
new building.
The exterior plan of the building
has not been changed. So many fond
memories are clustered around the
grand old building that it was not
thought advisable to alter the general
appearance. But on the inside the
change is complete.
Instead of having the halls running
the length of the building as formerly
there is now a partition in the middle
which divides the structure into two
separate sections. The three floors
are connected by stairways so that
there are six sections to the building
with apartments for eight persons in
each section. The rooms are arrang-
ed in suites of two rooms each. The
sleeping apartment is separated from
study room and all the rooms are fit-
ted up in first class shape. The Y. M.
C. A. stil' occupies their rooms on the
first floor. In every way the building
is up to date and fills a long felt need.
In comparison to the condition the old
dorm was formerly in it is now a
palace.
All these improvements will have a
good influence on the students. They
can take pride in their surroundings
and strive to l<eep them attractive.
In the midst of such desirable sur-
roundings the student cannot help but
do beter work. Environment is a
great factor in a person's life and
without doubt one can look for the stu-
dents to be better students than ever
before.
AiUAL RECEPTION

Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. ENTER-
TAIN NEW STUDENTS — DR.
AIKENS SPEAKS
"If the cap fits wear It."
As a welcome to the new students
who have entered the institution this
fall a reception was held in Seibert
Hall last night by the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. It is the custom of these
organizations to hold this every year
so that the incoming students can be-
come acquainted.
A committee of the old members
met the newcomers at the door and
made them feel at home. Soon the old
and nevv men and women were seated
around in a circle ariti chatting as tho
they had known each other all their
lives. The sorrows of homesickness
were lost and the real character of
college life and surroundings discover-
ed. Many a lonesome one was cheered
and made to feel that he was a part
of the large family.
Dr. Aikens in a brief address wel-
comed the new ones and encouraged
them to take an active part in the
work and privileges of these worthy
organizations. A short program of
musical and literary numbers was
rendered by the members after which
games and amusements of various
kinds were started.
After some time spent in jolliflca.
tion the committee appeared bearing
large trays loaded with ice cream,
and cake and as usual the appeal of
the appetite was stronger than the at-
traction of entertainment and all ceas-
ed from their activities to enjoy the
small tho delicious repast.
At a late hour the assembly of now
thoroughly acquainted students re-
turned to their abodes much happier
and anxious to take their part in their
respective organizations.

EVENT OF HANNA ACCEPTS CALL TO BE-
COME PASTOR OF TRINITY
With the gathering shadows of Fri-
day evening convened also the jolly
class of 1919 on the beautiful campus
of dear old Susquehanna.
Hearty laughter and friendly jests
were suflicient evidence that the Jun-
iors were in for a good time. In tows
or threes they started with Mrs.
Hobart* and Dean Meyers driving the
flock, until Fetterolf's woods greeted
the visitors.
Pine needles and boughs blazed up
quickly making the woods light and
cherry. Led by Pappenfus and male
members of the class scoured the
woods for fuel, while those of female
persuasion made themselves com-
fortable around the fire.
Then the fire died down leaving a
hot bed of glowing embers. The
custodians produced the marshmel-
lows which were soon toasting over
the fire. Some were burnt, some fell
off and some were just fine. Peanuts
followed the candy in abundant quan-
tities. Miss Schoch. was the terror of
the boys by reason of her sticky hands
and Shoaf was overflowing with hu-
mor.
Everybody knew how to play three
deep in which they heartily partici-
pated until breathless they called the
game. Then again the fire was piled
high while the ears svere finished and
songs of Susquehanna echoed among
the tall trees. When again the fire had
burned low the illustrious class of '19
wended its way homeward beneath the
stars, comparing mentally this reunion
with that of previous years when ever
guarding against the Freshmen they
enjoyed a wiener feed in the same
woods. This is an event long to be
pleasantly remembered by the Juniors
who are now united more closely than
ever to undertake the work of the
future.

PRESIDENT CHAS. T. AIKENS
SOPHS POST PROCS.
Wednesday morning, the opening
day of college, dawned with a beauti-
fuy radiance of glorious sunlight
sweeping over tho eastern mountain
tops only to reveal that the Sophs had
already been on the job and had post-
ed their warnings to the Freshmen in
every conspicious place at and about
the buildings of old Susquehanna, As
the day advanced the many Froshiea
appeared one by one on the campus,
taking a long drawn out look at the
lules with which they were doom to
reverence. Then with sad face and
drooping countenance they made their
way onward to brood over their on-
coming doom if they should fail to
obey. Thursday morning dawned to
still further reveal the handiwork of
the pugnacious Sophs. The numerals
which the fear stricken Freshmen had
painted during the night had all been
maiked out with only a faint trace left
to tell how dilligently the new ones
had labored but all in vain.
SOPHOMORES ORGANIZE
The class of '20 held a class meet-
ing last week at which the class was
organized for this year. The following
officers were elected:
President, Wm. Janson; Vice-Presi-
dent, Evelyn Allison; Treasurer, My-
ron Cole; Secretary, Russel Auman;
Financial Secretary, S. Kornman.
At a meeting held September 16, the
congregation of Trinity Lutheran
Church voted unanimously to extend
to Rev. Jolm Crown Focht, D.D., a call
to become their pastor. Since July 1,
when Rev. Dr. Charles Leonard re-
linquished his work in Trinity to ac-
cept a call to Williamsport, the local
pastorate has been supplied by Dr.
Houtz.
On Sunday, September 23, the sec-
retary of the church council read be-
fore the congregation the letter of Dr.
Focht, wherein he accepted the call
agreeing to begin his work the first
of October.
Dr. Focht has many friends not only
in the local congregation but in the en-
tire community, He is a man of un-
impeachable character, rich in sym-
pathy and love for his fellow men and
ever ready to aid and uplift all who
come within the scope of his activi-
ties. Scholarly in his attainments,
quick and generous in his dealings, he
has won the respect of all who know
him. His perceptions are quick and
clear, his judgment calm and accurate,
his purposes good and pure beyond all
question.
Dr. Focht, the son of Rev. D. H. and
Susan (Brown) Focht was born in
Chambersburg on July 20, 1851. After
a preparatory course at Missionary In-
stitute he entered Pennsylvania Col-
lege from which he graduated with
honor in 1874. For the following
acedemic year he was proctor of his
alma mater after which he was ap-
pointed principal of the Preparatory
Departmnt of State College. He was
ordained in 1876 but did not enter the
ministry until after leaving State
College. Later he accepted a call to
the vice-principalship of Missionary
Institute succeeding to tho principal-
ship in 1881. After 6 years of faith-
ful labor he was called to St. John's
Lutheran church in Lewistown, which
he served until he accepted a call to
Barren Hill in 1894. In the year 1899
he became pastor of the local church
continuing the pastorate until 1904,
when he resigned to become President
of Susquehanna University. After a
year of splendid administration he re-
linquished his executive position and
removed his family to Plantsville,
Conn., where they have since resided.
All who had learned to know him
either in his pa.=itorate or on the cam-
pus greatly regreted his departure but
now they iim> n joicc that once more
he M'ill return lo tiie field of his form-
er endeavors and spend his declining
years amid the scenes of past labors.
The local eotisn'sation is to be sin-
cerely congratuliitod that they have
secured a clergyman of such extra-
ordinary ability and character.
Susquehanna can well feel proud of
her sons who have answered the c^U
of their country and entered the serv-
ice. The Susquehanna Ambulance
Unit in camp at Allentown is an hon-
or to their college. Thirty-six of the
finest of her students are now in this
unit. Many more are in other branch-
es of the service and they are also
proving to be a great honor to their
beloved institution. Following is a
list of those who are encamped at Al-
lentown awaiting the call to go across
the waters:

will give a gold headed cane and to
the Sophomores he has promised a
pair of boots. The only condition at-
tached to these presents is that he is
to have hold of one end of the cane
and that his foot is to be in one of
the boots.

of more value to you In after life
than the training received in Literary
Society. Become a member of either
Philo or Clio, they are both good.

ENROLLMENT
Many new students are enrolled
this year.
Altho the Freshmen class is not as
large as in former years, they are cer-
tainly fine men. It is our hope that j
they may do their bit and help in all
the departments. The upper classmen
stand ready and willing to help these
new men in every way possible.
If there is anything on which they
may wish to be enlightened the older
students will gladly do it. We are
one large family and we want the be-
ginners to feel that they are a part of
it. We all must work together for our
own benefit and lor our beloved
college.
Sound of the pigskin is heard again
and football is started at Susquehan-
na.
In spite of the fact that almost all of
last year's teams have entered their
country's service, footl)all will contin-
ue. None of last year's varsity nun
have returned and only a few of the
scrubs have reported, so it will be im-
possible to play the first three games
on the schedule. The remaining
games, however, will be played pro-
viding the material is forthcomin?;.
Coach E. R. Wingard will again eo.Tch
the Orange and Maroon and will be as-
sisted by Harkins and Middlesworth.
Both men have played on the eleven
for several years and will be of great
help in whipping the squad into form.
Susquehanna has a good schedule, in-
cluding several home games, and
should have a successful season.
Janson, last year's scrub captain,
Warner and Bastian, scrubs of last
year, have reported, while Stuempfle,
Follmer, Shannon, Schuman, Zechman,
Rothfus, Faust, and several other new
men are showing good form.
Let every man respond to the call of
his college and do his bit to boost foot-
ball this year. Whether you have
played before or not, we want you to
come out and get in line. Uniforms
can be secured at the Gymnasium.
Let every man show his loyalty to
Susquehanna by reporting for practice
this week.

MANY UNDER FLAG
Due to the war and the fact that so
many of our students have answered
the call to the colors, the upper clas-
i>es are somewhat depleted this year.
This will necessarily cause a great-
e amount of responsibility to fall on
1 remainiuR members. May they
vfa "estly and diligently take up the
wr' ind carry it thru.
rX'^'the sake of Susquehanna we
must not bt any of this work fail or
slacken. It may require some sacrifi-
ces on the part of the students to do
this but we should feel that it is our
duty to do this for our dear Susque-
hanna, i'vfter all her welfare is ours
and in doing these things we are help-
ing ourselves.

TEETH AS A FACTOR
IN GENERAL HEALTH
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com-
missioner of Health
"He looks one way and pulls an-
other."
"Stick to it and do it."
"Don't put the cart before the
horse."
"A leaking tap is a greate waster."
"Fools set tools for wise men to
stumble over."
"A man in passion rides a horse
that runs away with him."
"No plow, many weeds."
"Two dogs fight for a bone and an-
other runs away with it."
"Little is gained by lawsuits."
"He would put his finger in the pie
so he burnt his nail off."
"Mind your own business."
"You can't catch the wind in a net."
"Like cat like kit."
"A horse which carries a halter is
easily cought.
"An old fox IS shy of a trap."
"A black hen lays a white egg."
"One hunch back laughs at another."
"He has a hole under his nose and
his money runs into it."
Good teeth are necessary for health.
What adds more to the beauty of the
human face than a mouth full of fine
teeth?
The first teeth need great care.
First, the mother should see that the
mouth is not overcrowded so that its
form may be maintained for the sec-
ond teeth when they come.
The baby teeth are softer than those
that come after and therefore acids
must be scrupulously avoided, particu-
larly in mouth washes, as they will
destroy these important teeth wliicb
should be kept in the mouth as long
as they are in good condition.
Your doctor or druggist should be
able to tell you about the acidity of the
tooth preparations that are on the
market.
It is always a pleasure to learn how
to do things for one's self; it makes
you self reliant and at the same time
stimulates you to seek further knowl-
edge.
If you suspect your tooth prepara-
tion of being acid you can buy a few
cents worth of litmus paper from your
druggist, and by dipping a very small
piece of this into your mixture a red-
dish tinge will appear on the paper if
there is any acid present. If acid for-
bid the use of the preparation. If a
tooth powder is used it should be well
shaken up with water before making
the acid test.

The Text Book of Lutheranism
By JUNIUS B REMENSNYDER,
D. D., LL. D.
This is a book which will give
you a thorough understanding of
the doctrines, worship and gov-
ernment of the Lutheran Church.
Beginning with the name Luth-
eran it discusses every import-
ant feature of the Church and
discloses a vision of our future
here in America.
Dr. Remensnyder, with his
wonderful grasp of his subject,
has explained and discussed
these doctrines in such a way as
to make them cle^r and intereat-
ing to everyone.
We consider this book a vital
necessity to every Lutheran.

Y. M. C. A.
To the new students the Y. M. C. A.
wishe.s to extend the good hand of fel-
lowship. We greet you as an organi-
ation that wishes to make your col-
lege life homelike. We want to give
you all that you left behind and some-
thing more. We want you to feel that
Susquehanna is a home as well as a
college.
Furthermore we want to develop
your spirit, mind and body. You can-
not afford to miss the spiritual food
gained from our meetings because
you owe it to God and yourself. We al-
ways procure sterling men as sepak-
ers; men who have fought life's bat-
tles and have been victorious, so a
message coming from such men is just
the kind we all need. Then we have
our weekly prayer meeting, and by
the way they will start next Wednes-
day evening. Leaders will be appoint-
ed for each section of the dormintory
and a meeting will be held In one of
the rooms. The few minutes you
spend with the fellow students In wor-
ship will bring you into a closer rela-
tionship with them and with God.
The Y. M. C. A. rooms will bo ready
for occupancy In a short time. It Is one
of our greatest disappointments that
we could not greet you in our rooms
on enrollment day. When we open
the halls ^gain wc want you to use
them, that Is what they are there for.
In them you can have a talk with your

Formal opening of Susquehanna
University toolt place Wednesday
morning. President Ailcens read the
scripture les^f^on and Dr. Manhart de-
livered the invocation.
Prof. John Price Jackson, who was
expected to make the opening ad-
dress could not be present and Rev.
Leroy F. Baker, of the Episcopal
Church of Selinsgrove, acted as sub-
stitute. He gave a very practical and
forceful talk. He clearly delineated
the advantages to the individual which
an education will bring. His address
was greatly enjoyed by the student
body.
Prof. Roy Young, of the University
of Oklahoma, a violinist, was introduc-
ed by the President and played an
Indian love song and an imitation of
the song of the bullfinch.
Owing to the fact that so many of
the students have joined the colors
the upper classes are very small but
the new classes are well up to stan-
dard aad the outlook for a prosperous
year is good. A goodly number of new
students have enrolled in all the de-
partments so that the total enrollment
will not be much below the average.

JOTS AND BLOTS FROM

Here we are again, some happy,
some sad. Many of the girls as well
as some fellows look somewhat lonely.
For instance Sam, Steinie, and— well
you can easily pick them out.
Skinney came back with a pipe. Did
you see it?
Well what do you think of Pappy's
mustache? A little sour milk might
hasten its growth.
Faust started the season real early
and showed wonderful form. Ten no

Social hours on Friday night in
Seibert Hall will be inaugurated this
year if pood order predominates in
the dining hall. So fellows don't eat
peas with your knife or throw dough
balls if you wish to mingle with the
fair sex.
Hard Guy Shoaf got in wrong again
Saturday night. While he was wander-
ing around down town he was taken
for a crook and a crowd soon gather-
ed about him and demanded his arrest.
He managed to break thru the gang
and started down the street at terrifc
speed. A howling and excited mob
at his heels urged him to even greater
speed. He was pursued for several
blocks and was finally captured, but
on the way to the borough bastile he
gave a satisfactory explanation and
was allowed to go free, much to his
regret.
Pappy Warner met some aid friends
at Rolling Green Park. Who?
Sam Komman got in wrong again.

classes, a game, an evening of song
about the piano or a concert on the

use them so long as it is in a gentle-
manlike manner and you are making
yourself at home.
On Tuesday evening we will have

AT
NOTED JURIST SPEAKS AT RALLY
SERVICE — TIMELY REMARKS
WELL RECEIVED
Judge Johnson, of Union and Snyder
County was present and spoke at the
Rally Day Service in Trinity Sunday
School. His address was forceful
and right to the point.
Bible reading was the theme of l^s
discourse and in the course of his ad-
dress he brought out the difference
between the people now and in former
times. "The Bible," he said, "was
formerly a well known book, it was
studied in the public schools, it was
used as a text book, every one was
well versed in it. Now it is seldom
read except in the churches on Sun-
day, and for that reason every one
should attend the church services."
"The Bible," he said, "is the best
book." If you know the Bible thoroly
you know more than all the other
books combined. It has more poetry,
more reasons, more song, more gootl
reading than all others. It has more
law than Blackslone. No man can be
a successful lawyer unless he has a
knowledge of the Bible. All our lav.'S
are based on the Bible and our Gov-
ernment is founded on its principles.
No man' can be a success unless he
knows the Bible and for that reason
every man, woman and child should
be in the Sunday School."
His talk was very helpful thruout
and all who heard it are sure to be
benefited by it.
LETIG OUTLOOK
NOT VERY BRIGHT
SOME GOOD MATERIAL OUT BUT
WILL TAKE TIME TO DEVELOP
WINNING TEAM
Prospects for a football team are
poor, but that does not say that there
are not some good men on the squad.
There are a few who have a ' very
bright future but it will take work
and experience before they are shap-
ed into real warriors.
With the men that we can develop
this year and with the help and influ-
ence of Susquehanna's noble sons we
expect to have a team to compete with
any college of our class and standing
in the following years. Only two play-
ers from the scrub team are back to
take up the work and there are no
"S" men. But there is one consoling
feature and that is the noble spirit
the boys have shown when called to
duty.
There will be a game on Warnei-
Field Saturday, October 6, with Mill-
ersburg. This team is represented as
being very good and all who wish to be
contestants in this game must report
every afternoon for practice. Remem-
ber boys the teams that are sent on the
field represent the college and should
you be among them you should feel
the responsibility and make a good
showing.
EVERY MEMBER OF 1916
SUSQUEHANNA TEAM ENLISTS
War has dealt a stuning blow to
football at Susquehanna, but at the
same time it has established a great
reputation for patriotiem among the
wearers of the maroon and orange on
the gridiron.
Every member of last year's victor-
ious football team is in military serv-
ice. Only a few veteran scrubs com-
prised the familiar faces when candi-
dates were told to report on Warner
Field for initial practice.
Athletic Director Wingard will only
have supervisory charge of the squad
this season, and the work of school-
ing the squad will be up to Middles-
worth and Hark ins, former football
stars here and present theological
students.
Here is the toll of the great record
of patriotism made by the members
of last year's football team: Captain-
elect George Kirk is a second lieuten-
ant, following his course at Fort Ni-
agara, and stationed as an instructor
at the Gettysburg camp; Captain Cass
ler, center of last year's team, is with
one of the two American ambulance
units sent from Susquehanna, and is
in camp at Allentown; Lieutenant J.
Paul Harman, a Fort Niagara man,
was one guard, and Dunmire, enlisted
from Pittsburgh, was the other.
Harry Farrell and James Horton, the
tackles, are at Allentown, Murphy, one
end, has entered the service in Boston,
and Emerick, the other, is at Alletown.
Lieutenant B. A. Peters, one of the
<iuarterback8, is chaplain of the First
Pennsylvania field artillery, and Jay
Rlden, the other, is at Allentown.

FIELD SECRETARY NOTES
The first issue of the Susquehanna
reaches us for out in the western part
of the State. We rejoice in the open-
ing of the sixtieth scholastic year of
dear old Susquehanna. We congratu-
late our students upon living to see
this marvelous age in the world's his
tory and upon being in an institution
where they will be carefully prepared
to do noble service in the days to
come.
We left home on the present trip
September 8 and hope to greet our
friends in Selinsgrove sometime dur-
ing the week beginning Septembe,'
30. Our experiences as always have
been most interesting and pleasant.
We have met old friends of the school
and we have made some new ones.
Everywhere there is a growing inter-
est in our beloved alma mater.
Our first stop was in the fine city
of Williamsport. Here we spent two
days with the Rev. Morris F. Good,
preaching and lecturing in St. Mat-
thew's Church, one of the most ag-
gressive and generous churches of the
Susquehanna Syuod, and that is say
ing much, for we have a mighty fine
synod.
Avis saw us next. There we lectur-
ed one night on Luther. The next
morning we shared in a teacher-train-
ing graduation program. Pastor Barb
is one of our very best friends. We
have been in his charge three times
during our work, and we hope to re-
turn. Our particular effort is not to
"burn" our territory, but to sow seed
that will bring results in the years to
come. It is always an honor to re-
turn to a field once visited.
From Avis we took a long jump to
Butler county, where we spent eight
days with Rev. W. E. Watts, pastor of
the prosperous Sprlngdale charge.
This noble fellow was a royal host.
Our stay with him will always be re-
called with delight. Our space pre-
vents the telling of his ong wait in j
Butler from 12 noon to 10 p.m. for the ;
preacher who came another way and
Rev. Cleason B. King, D.D., like a
great many other men who have made
good in life's activities, saw the light
of day on the farm, where he spent
his boyhood days. After attending the
public school he was a student at the
Millersville State Normal School,
where he prepared for teaching. Lat-
er he entered Missionary Institute,
Now Susquehanna University, and
graduated from the Seminary in 1883.
Hi.s first pastorate was at Apollo, Pa.,
and so successful was his work that
the membership grew from 165 to
over 500 in seven and one-half years.
Then he was callep to and served the
St. Mark church, 'then a mission, in
Allegheny, and built their present
church. While pattor there his niis-
sionar:' spirit led Mm to organize the
Mt. Olivet congregation and build
them a church, leaving it free of debt.
In 1898 he was elected Missionary
Superintendent of the Pittsburgh Syn-
od in which office he served success-
fully for two years. Just seventeen
years ago he became piustor of Bethel
lutheran church of AUesheny which
he now relinquishes to become Asso-
ciate President of Susquehanna. His
work in this field has been almost
phenomenal. In one year after he be-
came pastor the mission- became self-
supporting; then paid off its debt,
lat(?r bought another church which is
FRESHMEN VICTORS |
IN ANNUAL TIE-UP
WEARERS OF THE GREEN BY
CAREFUL ORGANIZATION DE-
FEAT SECOND YEAR MEN
Following the custom of past years
the Freshmen defeated the Sopho-
mores in the annual Tieup on Warner
Field last Thursday by the score of 11
to 0.
Many were surprised at the outcome
of the battle as the majority of the
students had placed their confidence
in the Sophs, who, altho they were out-
numbered by five men, were heavier,
and their weight combined with form-
er experience was certainly to their
advantage.
The Sophs appeared on the field in
good time and anxiously awaited the
oncoming of the verdant sons. The
Freshies, however did not appear till
the final moment and then were ac-
companied by a delegation of red cross
nurses. The pistol cracked and they
were at one another's throats. Soon
the field was covered with struggling
Sophs and Freshies. The Sophs strug-
,gled valiently and for a long time the
battle was undecided but finally the
superior numbers of the new men told
and the first Soph was carried across
the line. After that there was no
doubt as to the result. Still the Sophs
were undaunted and fought on and
when the end of the fifteen minutes of
battle was announced three of their
men, bruised and weary, remained on
the field, while the victorious Fresh-
men, with their clothing in shreds, rent
the heavens with their exultant yells.
So the 20-21 tieup will go down in
history as the beet one for several
eyars.

valued at $60,000 and i.s free of debt.
The memb(>rship of the church is in
excess of 550.
Dr. King was a trustee of Tresslei's
Orphans' Home for twelve years, serv-
ed as secretary of Synod three years,
hes represented the Pittsburgh Synod
at the meetings of the General Synod
a number of times, and has been in
much demand at the dedication of
churches where his financial abality
has been of great service in conduct-
ing the offerings.
His helpful wife is the daughter of
the late Rev. Seifert, and her interest
in the new undertaking for Susque-
hanna is second only to tht of Dr.
King himself.
Susquehanna is indeed fortunate in
securing the services of such a man.
The college needs the endowment and
Dr. King is the man to raise it. If it
is at all possible to secure this money.
Dr. King will get ;t. During his many
years pastorate In Pittsburgh he has

PROFESSOR YOUNG'S RECITAL
Lovers of music were given a rare
treat Friday evenin.g when Professor
Roy Young of the University of Okla-
homa, appeared in Seibert Hall. He
rendered a program that was enjoyed
by all.
Professor Young was formerly head
of the department of Science in the
University of Oklahoma but at the
present time is taking up post graduate
work in the eastern universities. He
is a violinist of note, havng studied
under some of the world's masters.
His program was instructive as well
as entertaining. His descriptive num-
bers were so real that the hearer real-
ly thought that it was the actual bird
or animal which he heard. Several
studies from the birds were given and
these were so perfect and enraptured
the mind so that the hearer imagined
he saw the bird. In order to show
the value of practicing he played a
selection which would ordinarily take
six minutes but which by much prac-
tice he has become able to play in less
than one minute.
His recital, separately and collec-
tively was one grand success and all
who were present received great in-
spiration.
COLLEGE GIRLS BAR CANDY
The faculty and nearly 400 pupils
of Wilson College for Women have
pledged themselves to eat no candy
for two months. This is done to aid
Food Administrator Hoover conserve
sugar and help out America's Allies.
After three days men grow weary of
a wench, a gust, a weather rainy.
After crosses and losses men grow

WM. KLECKNER, OF SUNBURY
SUCCEEDS E. P. SONES AS IN-
STRUCTOR IN BUSINESS
Susquehanna can feel proud in op-
ening up this year with Prof. Kleckncr
at the head of the commercial Depart-
ment. She has always had good busi-
ness men at the head of this depart-
ment, and we feel sure that Prof.
Kleckner will not lower the.s tandard.
but continue to raise it to a higher de-
gree of efficiency.
Prof. Kleckner does not come to Sus-
quehanna as a man lacking in train-
ing and experience. He be.gan his ad-
vanced studies at Bucknell, where he
remained two years. After leaving
Bucknell he entered Potts Shorthand
College, Williamsport, Pa., whore he
completed the course. Starting upon
his career he found that his prepara-
tion for life's work was not complete.
With this conviction he entered upon
and completed a course in the Phila-
delphia School of Commerce.
Prof. Kleckner is a man with prac-
tical experience. He taught sixteen
years in the commercial departments
of Business Colleges, five years in the
Sunbury High School and one year in
the Hawkins Normal, Virginia.
During the short time that he has
been at Susquehanna he has left an
impression among the students both on
the campus and in the class room that
he has ability and talent as a teacher.
He is a man that has his work at
heart, and will do all he can for the
uplift of Susquehanna and will send
out men and women into the business
world who will make successful lead-
ers.
SLOUCHINESS
The Grouch is decidedly a popular
figure nowdays. He is the man who
wins a commission. Disagreeable as
he may be in the office, in the training
camp his stern demeanor attracts the
attention of he powers to be. The
namby-pamby, pleasant-voiced person
does not easily learn to rap out his
orders with the action of a steel trap,
however great his booklearning may
be. There must be a streak of grouch-
iness in a good line officer.
But the Slouch is in worse repute
than ever. Doctor Ilibben, in welcom-
iii;; the Princeton students at the
opening of the Fall Term, referred to
a letter he had received from the
Adjutant General, who gave "slouchi-
ni'ss" of manner, carriage, mind, and
dispositions the chief cause of failure
to win army commlBsions. The col-
lege president urged that students
spruce up generally. It is easy enough
to recover from slouchiness of garb
and carriage, but it is not so easy to

must take heed, but the teacher must
play his part, too. Too much of our
teaching is perfunctory and permits
the students minds to browse about at
ease. The military atmosphere of tho
time should penetrate the classroom
and insist that those who have the
privilege of study should get some
very tangible and practical knowledge

MANLINESS
Ther^' ;;i'' many passive virtues that
are worth while and that are ad-
mirable. Gentleness, patience, meek-
ness, kindness — all these arc neces-
sary maiKs of the real Christian char-
acter. The m-eat men and the ,E;rcat
women of llie world, of all times, have
manifested tlie power of such com-
mendafile trails in their lives, and
have made the v.orkl a better iilace
In which I I ;■ ' 1 ' ■' ' r I'lem.
But the paiiiiici' (A ."•! . ''•'• \

Manliness meiius ferce.
and is not necfssarily a
trait that is confined lo ihi' repii'sen-'
tativts of the masculine persuasion.
Many women of the world have also
shown this trait, and are wortliy ex-
amples for all persons of the after
generations to follov.-. Tlie l;o!;l!iess
of Peter, the enthusiasm of Poul, the
heroism of Lutlu'r, above all the tre-
mendous energy and spirit of the Lord
himself did not lessen or interfere with
the exhibition of those mildi-r cknrae- I
teristics which pre-eminently marked i),„.„ ^^.j,„ remodeled, less
all these men. The beauty of the
Christian graces was enhanced by the
more pronor.nced virtues, the positive
force, that dwdt in each of those
named.
No b(tter example of what is gen-
erally understood In- manliness can be
found tiian that set forth by Jesus.
He was love incarnate and gentleness
personified, but tliese did not make
him weak. He was full of compassion
for the needy and tlu' erring, but He
was always unutti r;ib]y opposed to
sin in every form. He was no weak
man swept along in the current of
human life, but a man who made the
curnnt for tlie rt si of llie world. In
every word, every act Jesus showed
the force and i)ositiveness of His
character and stands forth among all
the world as a manly man, in every
sense of the word — largehearted, noble
spirited, generous to the limits of sclf-
saciitiee.
A manly nuui in these days will find
mnny an ()i)i>"i-t unity to shov,' his
manliness. For one thing he will be a
man of his word. Too many are not.
Truthfulness too often fails to be giv-
en a ( hance in liuman life. !Men are
too apt lo be punctilious in large mat-
ters of business, or of social interest,
but in the litile things of life they are
too often found to be marked by a
disregard for exact truthfulm ss that
is demanded by the religion they pro
fess. They fail to keep their engage
ments; they cannot say no, but .just
as frequently say yes, with no thought
of keeping their promise. They do not
pay their little debts. In their daily
iives these little meannesses crop out
men.
G. ALFRED SCHOCH
<;. Alfred Schoch, retired merchant
and a leading financier of Snyder coun-
iy, aged 77 years, died at his home
ill Middleburg, at 9 o'clock Fridav
Sept. 28.
For tlie past two years he has been
in failing health and for ten days had
been confined to his bed but his con-
dition was not. regarded serious, until
early in the week.
He was a native of Middlebur,g and

large store at that place. He was one
of the leading factors in the organ-
ization of the First National Bank,

the institution for more than twentj'-
six years. He was also president of
the First National Bank of New Ber-
lin, and of the Middlecreek \alley
Telephone Company, and a director of
Susquehanna T'niversity. He was
deeply interested in educational r.iai-
<■■:■'•■ rnd served for several terms as
-ler of the Board of Education
in his native town. He also repre-
sented Snyder county for two terms
in the State Legislature. He was op-
posed to int( mperanee in any lonn
and was a leader in the movement
to have all licensed hotels in Middle-
burg closed and to accomplisli this
end was one of a group of men wlui
organized a company to purchase and i SS
conduct the !\Iiddl(-burg Inn, which
gained state-wide reputation as a no-
licensed hotel.
When lli(> Court House at Middle-
than two
years ago, he purchased a big clock
for the tower wliii h was presented to
the tax payers of the county. He
was also a leader in th(^ Lutheran
church, at Middleburg, and was one
of ils heaviest contributors.
He owned extensive farm land and
took much pride in the management
of liis estate.

in the chapel service.
M. M. Albeck '94 and '97, has just
closed his ninth year as pastor of the

City. During his pastoraTe trie merr,-
bership has greatly increased and the
property holdinRs have been raiscnl
from $7000 to fS.^JOOO by the purchase
of the parsonage and enlar,s;ement of
the church. When he came to tht

ceived.

PHILO
Philo Lit (vary Sofii^ty opened an-
other year with a rousing meeting on
Thursday evening. A large attend-
ance was present and a fine program
was rendered. Miss Laura Schoch
and Mr. Allbeck gave some very in-
teresting readings after which Mrs.
Hobart played a violin solo. Miss
Doothy Rearick delivered an oration
and V.'illiam'Deck'^r read the current
news of th<^ day. Mr. Selin Ulrich
sang two very lieautiful solos. The
Philo by Mr. Kornman was extra good
and vas ttioroly enjoyed by all.
Philo invites all the students to
come to her meetings and to affdiate
themselves with her. There is no bet-
ter thing arovmd the college than the
Literary Societies and nothing will be
of more advantage to the individual
in after life than the training he gets
in them. It is the privilege and duty
of ev(>ry student to become identified
with a society and take their part in it.
The individual will reap great bene-
fits from it if he will only work. The
literary talent will increase according
to the amount of effort put into the
work.
The spirit of fellowship and kind-
ness whicli prevails in the societies
has an uplifting influflenflflee on the
individual and will do much to relieve
the pang.-: of hon.esickne.ss and lonli-
ni-ss of Ihoi" away from liome the
first time. Let every one join a so-
ciety. Philo invites you. Come.

delighted with I'm? work of llieir young
and able pastor and are busy putting
him up a parsonage to cost ^'-onn v.-ith j
all modern improvements.
Chicora was our next appointment.
Rev. C. W. 'arnett, an alumnus of
Suskuehanna, and one of her most de-
voted friends, came in his car to
bring us to his home from the Spring-
daie charge. We had a fine time with
this good brother. In his comfortabb^
parsonage we found the rest and the
refreshnu'ut and the cordiality that is
the very balm of Gilead to the Aveary
traveler. Pastor Barnett is serving
his first charge and is now in his
eighth year. He has made a great
success of his work and his people
are very devoted. We preached and
lectured to fine congregations in both
churches.
These notes leave our hands Satur-
day morning, September 29, in Butler,
where we have been since Wednesday
preceding with Rev. J. R. Nicholas,
pastor of Trinity church. Brother
Barnett brought us to the city In his
car. The Trinity people were expect-
ing ourf coming and good audiences
were present to hear our lectures and
see our pictures Wednesday and
Thursday nights. Friday evening we
delivered the seromn at preparatory
service. A great experience in Butler
was an address to 750 students in the
High School. Principal Irvine and
.Superintnedent Gibson were most cor-
dial. Their is no honor that we more
highly prize and no opportunity that
we more diligently seek than that of
sepaking to our young American citi-
zens. Pastor Nichouas is a fine fel-
low. He is just completing his first
year in the mlni.'jtry and is doing good
work.
We go from Butler to spend two
days wiOi Rev. A. W. Smith, pastor
of the Worlhington Charge. Wo anti-
cipate a delightful visit to this old and
progressive charge.

JOIS AND BLOTS FROM
THE G0LLE6E CAMPUS
Wo were under the impression that
matrimony only affected the soldiers
but we are now convinced that it has
penetrated the college life too. Pro
fes.sor Keener made a proposal to one
of our fair co-ed.s last week. Bill Jan- '
son proclaimed his love to "Riney"
and it was immediately accepted and
the knot tied at once by Theolog
Burt. Neidig cheered the saddened
heart of a war widow and Rine prom-
ised himself to "Mousey" after his
first wife was dead. Among the new
students several flames have been
started.

The Campus Beautiful— The trees
stretch forth their arms with majestic
air, casting their cool shadows across
our path everywhere; the birds in the
bu.sh make the heart glad with their
melody; the boys with their midnight
song do their best to awaken the
girls from their accustomed rest; and
the girls are choice, as each one
knows, some are begonia but others
are rose.
i Boys, where is the Orchestra, the
Band, the Glee Club? Get busy. We
believe the new head of the business
department will be a great help to
you. Meet him and talk the matter
over.
During the tie-up last week the Sus-
quehanna Red Cross made their ini-
tial appearance, but stood back while
the women did the work.
The inmates of our penitentiary
have received rules to govern their
conduct so from this time forth they
will have to walk the chalk line.

REWARD FOR IMPROVED CON-

LI-
Monday night, October 1st, burst
forth in a beautiful solemnity with
the full moon riding high in the
heavens. The birds had gone to rest,
and the gay old inght owl poking his
beak out of his nest found the Sopho-
mores gathered at their initial feed
for the new scholastic year.
Under the able chaperonage of Mrs.
Hoyt-Aire, the jolly bunch hiked to
the Island to the home of Mr, Joseph
Janson, arriving there about eight
o'clock. After the usual greetings
were exchanged the cooks and wait-
ers retired to the kitchen to prepare
the eats.
Joseph Janson the star oyster pad-
der of Dauphin county took general
charge of his favorite part of the ev-
ening's work. Ere long the tables
were set and the delicious bounties
so skilfully prepared were laid out be-
fore the hungry party. For a person
to stand at the far end of the room
and look out over that wonderful lay-
out it reminded him of one of those j
ancient royal feasts which we often i
read about. But such a rare sight
cound not long remain for the call to
sit up to the table came and the merri-
ment of the night was changed from
jesting and talking, to feasting and
toasting.
Warner, having spent the greater
part of the evening across the street,
was especially zealous on the eats.
Neidig, being seated beside one of the
professors' fair daughters, claimed that
he had to hold back a little lest he
should lose his stand-in. Janson, the
class preside nt, decided not to take a
girl so that he could eat a double
share. So on thru the night the re-
veling continued altho the absence of
wine and other intoxicating beverages
was as always a predominate feature.
When all had eaten as much as pos-
sible the tables were cleared away
and volunteers were called to wash
dishes. Most conspicious among these
was Neidig, who was ably assisted by
Miss Woodruff. After more merri-
mentj with many a groan of fullness,
the jolly Sophomore bunch made their
way slowly but surely back thru the
dreary stillness of the moonlight to
the beautiful old campus.
As a reward to the fellows for ex-
cellent behavior in the dining hall,
Mrs. Hobart, the preceptress, arrang-
ed a social hour in Seibert Hall last
Friday evening. It was thought that
in this way the young men and the
fair co-eds might be brought together
and a pleasant time enjoyed. Elabor-
ate preparations were made, and the
fair damsels lined up to await the com-
ing of their noble knights.
Soon they broke up into groups and
games of various kinds were begun.
A jolly time ensued and one which will
long be remembered. The persons
present were loud in their praise of
the new management under which
these new privileges are allowed.
The only thing that was lacking to
make the social hour was fellows for
not a single young man was present.
What was wrong, fellows? Was it
that you did not wish to take the
blame for behaving yourself in the
dining room?

SOMETIMES
If times are hard, and you feel blue.
Think of the others worrying too;
Just because your trials are many.
Don't think the rest of us haven't any.
Life is made up of smiles and tears,
Joys and sorrows, mixed with fears;
And though to us it seems one-sided,
Trouble is pretty well divided.
If we could look in every heart.
We'd find that each one has its part,
And those who travel fortune's road,
Sometimes carry the biggest load.
Central Pennsylvania Synod held its
Sixty-Fourth annual convention at
State College last week. It is of spe-
cial interest to Susquehanna because
of the many items of business relating
to the university.
Three of our theological graduates
were consecrated to the gospel min-
istry by ordination and five of our
present Seniors in Theology were li-
censed. Those who were ordained
were H. Clay Bergstresser, of Salona,
and Harry Miller, of Espy charge, of
the class of last year and Clyde W.
Sheaffer, of Liverpool, of the 1916
class. The licentiates are Walter E.
Brown, Guy H. Middlesworth, John F.
Harkina, Wilson P. Ard and Fred
Greninger.
The Synod at this sesssion also con-
sidered the matter of giving ten
thousand dollars to the University on
the endowment. The matter of the
merger of the three great bodies of
the Lutheran Church in America was
discussed and adopted unanimously.
Dr. Houtz, of the University Faculty,
was president of the Synod and several
other of our professors belong to this
synod.
Orange and Maroon Defeated by Strong

Our Boys Were Unable to Score
There are two things that you can
do to make The Susquehanna a suc-
cess — become a subscriber and patren-

up to your responsibilities? Remem-
ber, it's your paper.
1919 LANTHORN
The Junior class have let contracts
for their annual. Gilbert and Bacon
will do the portrait work and the
Hammersmith - Koilmeyer Company
will do the engraving and printing.
The book will be well up to standard
and in many ways will be the best
published at Susquehanna. It will be
bound in brown leather with name
stamped in gold. The pages will be
gold bordered and the book will be
first class in every respect.
Susquehanna lost its first football
game last Saturday when it was de-
feated by the strong team from Mil-
lersburg. Our boys put up a fine game
considering the fact that most of the
team are new at the game. It was
not that they did not fight for victory
but the greater experience and weight
of the opponents was too much.
The advantage was with the vis-
itors from the start. They were
heavier and had played together be-
fore. When they came on the field it
was plainly seen that the victory was
theirs. But our own boys were un-
dounted by this and went into the
game with great pep. Our line was
lighter than theirs but several times
they were held for downs. Our back-
field worked well and several large
gains were made. But lack of ex-
perience was too great a handicap and
we were unable to keep them from
crossing the goal line. Five times they
did this but on the kicking they were
very poor and only one try was suc-
cessful. So the game ended with the
score standing 31-0 in favor of the
visitors.
Altho we lost the game yet some
good material showed itself and with
a few more week's practice a strong
team will be developed. Of the new
men, Bastian, Ent, Cole, Shannon, and
Gessner, showed good form, while
Captain Janson and Pendergast played
a brilliant game.
The next game is with Lewistown

FIELD SECRETARY NOTES
Worthington, Pa., was the scene of
our labors September 29 to October
1, inclusive. We had a delightful
time with our young brother Rev, A.
W. Smith, who is doing good work in
this important charge of the Pitts-
burgs Synod. The three days were
very strenuous, but at their close we
rejoiced in the opportunity that came
to us of preaching and lecturing to
the people of the two churches. We
found much interest In Susquehanna.
The people were delighted with our
pictures of the school and the sur-
rounding country.
Our visit to Worthington was of
particular interest because it enabled
us to meet the Rev. J. W. Schwartz,
D.D., who served the charge for al-

MORAL COURAGE
To yield to any outward opinion
and to do or act contrary to our own
inner conviction of what is true and
right is to be a moral coward. The
coward is the man who speaks what he
thinks people want to hear instead of
what he knows to bo true. He who
tries to satisfy everybody and who
has not a mind of his own is in danger
of satisfying no one, not even himself.
He who thinks how things will look
instead of how things really are is a
mere policy person — a sort of chame-
leon. We should determine our course
of action and govern our conduct ac-
cording to our inner conscience and
convistion of what is right and true so
that we may not play the coward in
any situation or relation. Let us stand
for our principles at all times. — Luth-
eran Young People.

CLASS LOYALTY
With the tio-up the forma] class
scraps came to an end for another
year. These friendly contests are all
right. They are a joy to look back
on in after years. No time of the col-
lege life is happier than thos(> first
few weeks of the fall term of tlie first
two years.
But it is not for these scraps that we
come to college. Wc come to work
and it is not good to let these things
interfere too much with the more Im-
portant tilings. Since these are past
we can now settle down to our regu-
lar work and reap the benefits.
A rivalry, more or less vifiorous, will
continue and it is well that it should,
but it must be friendly and not mean.
It is only natural that there should be
a certain amount of antagonism be-
tween the two lower classes but this
will not interfere with the personal
friendships among the individuals.
Strong friendships are sure to be
formed between the membeis of the
dilferent classes and all will f(H>l them-
selves to i)e brothers. All aie a part
of the college community and should
do all things for the betterment of
Susquehanna. In all things the col-
lege must come before the class or
any other relation. Susquehanna is
the important thing and these others
are only minor details. If we keep
this in mind we will all feel better in
the end when we observe the effect it
will most certainly produce, both to
ourselves and to the dear institution
of which we are a part. Let it al-
ways be Susquehanna first, other
things afterwards.
THE LOYAL LUTHERAN CHURCH
Loyal! Charges of disloyalty against
certain members of the Lutheran
Church in the United States should
not be allowed to riflect upon the
patriotism of the Lutheran Church as
a body. Whether inspired by the
criticism aimed against it or not, the
fact remains that in getting out a
booklet, entitled "Christian Service in
War Time," the Lutheran Church has
done perhaps what no other denomina-
tion has done. It is suggested that
churches havt^ an honor roll for tb.e
names of all in iiiilitiiiy or Red Cross
service, and that when enlisted men
depart they be asked to come forward
after the general prayer for a Avord of
encouragement and of "exhortation to
serve their country in the fear of
Cod." A part of the booklet is devot-
ed to special advice to enlisted men,
reminding them that the Church is
praying for Ibem. The descendants of
the Pilgrims could not express them-
selves more patriotically than these
Luthedans whose fathers came from
Germany.— Leslie's.
Beware of him that is slow to anger;
he is angry for something, and will not
be uplcascd for nothing.

THE LUTHERANM MANUAL
The Text Book of Lutheranism
By JUNIUS B REMENSNYDER,
D. D., LL. D,
This is a book which will give
you a thorough understanding of
the doctrines, worship and gov-
ernment of the Lutheran Church.
Beginning with the name Luth-
eran it discusses every import-
ant feature of the Church and
discloses a vision of our future
here in America.
Dr. Remensnyder, with his
wonderful grasp of his subject,
has explained and discussed
these doctrines in such a way as
to make them clear and interest-
ing to everyone.
We consider this book a vital
necessity to every Lutheran.

PHILO
Philosophian Literary Society held
its second regular meeting of the term
in Philo Hall, Friday evening. A
splendid program was rendered, show-
ing that Philo still has the splendid
spirit exhibited by her organizers of
old. An essay by Miss Mowrer was
well received for its originality of
composition and forcefulness of de-
livery. The reading by Miss Helen
Fetterolf was especially interesting
because of its insight into the human
side of our soldier boys, following
which Miss Evelyn Allison rendered a
humorous reading. Miss Grossman
delivered an oration and Miss Speigel-
mire won long applause by her ren-
dition of Polonaise In A by L. Chopin.
Mr. Shoal read the current news of
the day and Miss McCool by her care-
ful judgment and vivid presentation
swayed her audience when she sub-
stituted for a declamation a reading
of an adventure of a Tommie in the
trenches. "Philo" was read by Mr.
Allbeck. Announcement of the nom-
inees for the election to be held at the
next meeting v/as made and the so-
ciety adjourned to meet on Friday
evening, October 12. Philo always
has good, live meetings like these.
Her programs are ever of an enjoy-
able length and interest and therefore
she invites all new students to be-
come members and receive the invalu-
able training she offers. She has
trained for public speaking many who
have joined the alumni and are mak-
ing good and she will continue to do
80 for all who enter her portals.
Long live Phllo!

versity of Pittsburgh.

Y. M, C. A.
The first regular meeting of the Y.
M. C. A. was held last Tuesday ev-
ening in the chapel of Gustavus
Adolphus Hall. Mr. Stucmpfle, the
first speal<er of the evening, presented
the Y. M. C. A. as the great factor in
developing the spirit, mind and body.
Mr. Shannon, of the Seminary, was
next called upon and he responded
with some excellent advice to the new
students. He made a special appeal
for co-operation with the officers on
the part of the student body. Mr.
Crossland, also of the Seminary, gave
a forceful adress filled with spicy ad-
vice to the new students.
Mr. Bastian and Mr. Auman were
elected to fill the offices lest vacant by
the enlistments of Swartz and Toichart

new Y. M. C. A. rooms and we ex-
pect to have them in readiness in the
near future. All in all v/e have made
a fine beginning and the success of the
future lies with the members them-
selves. Teamwork counts ju.st as
much here as it does on the football
field. So lets get together, fellows,
and make this a banner year in the
history on the Y. M. C. A. at Susque-
hanna.
A little bit of sunshine,
A little bit of rain;
Mingled with our folly,
Makes us forget our pain.
So come out on Tuesdays,
And forget your work and play;
And hear the college fellows sing
Hymns of praise, and pray.

JOTS AND BLOTS FROM
THE COLLEGE GiPOS
Four girls in one evening is going
some. It shows that the fellow is
mighty popular. The only bad thing
about it is that it is rather hard on the
pocketbook. How about it Neidig?
When the cat's away the mice will
play. At least Allbeck thinks so.
While away on a brief trip some per-
son, animal or thing, made off with
several birthday boxes including a
special one from ?????. Not satis-
fied with that Neidig had to make it
worse by stealing the fair maiden.
It is reported that false hair is com-
ing down and that ladies dresses are
going up — in price.
Sling the Hash. Pappy has added
another sideline to his regular employ-
ment. He is now chief assistant to
Joe.
More men are needed on the foot
ball field. Come out and do your bit.
You can play if you only try. It is
your duty to do what you can for your
college.
It is nice to sit in church alone and
wait on your friend in the choir. Is'nt
it W^arner.
The chestnut crop has been corn-
ered for the present year. Shoaf left
on Monday morning and when he came
back he had the whole 1917 crop in
his pockets.
Our band is once more on the go.
Let us all do our share to boost this
worthy organization.
The conduct in the dining hall is
exceptionally good since the new rul-
ing went into effect but no one evi-
dently wants to take the responsibility
of being''good.
Mum Seel is some planner. Sunday
morning he had it all arranged so that
he could be alone at a table with one
of the fair co-eds. Go to it Mum.

And he is a Freshman too.

ILLOSIRllIED LECIURE
BY NAIIVE JAPANESE
MINOSAKU TOSHI YAMAMOTO
GIVES VERY HELPFUL TALK
ON JAPANESE RELATIONS
Those who attended the lecture in
Science Hall last Friday -were amply
repaid for the time spent there. At
that time Minosaku Toshi Yamamoto
gave a very interesting and helpful
address on the relations of Japan and
America. Mr. Yamamoto Is a native
of Japan and has been in this country
for the last twelve years attending
schools. He is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh. He is a very
learned man and his talk was brimful
of facts.
In the first place he told how unfair
some of our new.'^papers have been to
Japan and how unfair some of theirs
have been toward the United States.
They have pauited the countires as
black as possible and have tried to
bring about war. Japan, he said, does
not want war and desires peace but
these certain newspapers are making
it difficult to pre.-^crv'e peace.
"Japan has not forgotten what Amer-
ica has (lone for her in the past 60
years. Forty years ago there was only
one Protestant Christian church in
Japan and only eleven Protestant
Christians. Now there are 1056
churches and 96,000 protestants. By
tbe help of America Japan can be
made a great Christian nation."
After the lecture he showed several
views of the homellfe of Japan which
brought home to the people a better
idea of what that great nation of lit-
tle people are like.
His lecture was thoroly enjoyed by
all and much information was derived
from it.
UMBRELLA LOSS STIRS SYNOD;
LITTLE NAME TAG SAVES DAY
Rev. Dr. C. B. King, of Pittsburgh,
•created somewhat of a stir during the
joint session of the Pittsburgh and
Allegheny Synods of the Lutheran
Church in John.stown last week.
He had just finished a strong plea
for funds. for Susquehanna University.
sperJdng of thousands of dollars as if
they were as numerous as the leaves
now falling off the trees.
The joint session was drawing to a
close, and the ministers were having
their last words, bringing out some
points that they had forgotten. Dr.
liing jumped to his feet. Others who
had taken the floor about the same
time waited.
"1 have lost my umbrella," remark-
ed Dr. King.
Losing umbrellas in a church con-
vention, or any other kind of a con-
vention is almost to be expected, and
the ministers and laymen looked as
If they thought Dr. King had slight
chances of recovering his shower-stick.
But Dr. King had marked that um-
brella and he had an idea that he had
a better chance of recovering it than
If it had not been mai'ked. He was
right.
"Here It is," shouted a delegate in
the rear of the church. On the handle
of the umbrella was a metal tag bear-
ing the name and address of the own-
er. Dr. King walked briskly back the
aisle and clasped his shower-stick to
hia bosom as If it were the prodigal
son himself. The other ministers
plainly showed that they shared Dr.
King's Joy over the recovery of bis
lost umbrella.
BAND ORGANIZES WITH
W. M, KLEGKNER LEADER
COLLEGE BAND BEGINS WORK
FOR YEAR— PROSPECTS BRIGHT
—EXPERIENCED MEN REPORT
Again the band is under way and
its inspiring notes charm the hearts of
the students who are in the vicinity of
its activity.
Tuesday night the band was organ-
ized and the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Gob's; Manager, Papenfus. Prof.
Kleckner, head of the Commercial
Department, is directing the band.
He is a very able instructor, having
directed bands at several other col-
leges and last year directed the Sun-
bury High School Orchestra. Nearly
all of the men wha played on last
year's band have returned and many'
new students have offered their serv-
ices. The band last year was com-
posed almost entirely of untrained
men but this year nearly all have had
some experience and indications are
for a successful season.
Band practice will be held twice a
week, Wednesday evening at 6:30
and Friday at 12:30. The band is a
big feature in college activities and the
hearty cooperation in the student body
Is needed to help make this a big suc-
cess.
TO OUR BOYS AT ALLENTOWN
As I walksd upon the campus
Very quietly, one darkened night;
There was no moon at all, and
The stars gave forth a twinkling
light.
And I called for chums and classmates.
Yes I called but my voice would not
soar.
So 1 whispered: "God bless the boys,
S. U. boys in Section 74."
Then 1 listened as I wandered
Round the gym and football field.
And heard not the voice of one
From that team that would not yield.
Then I wandered to the sundial
In that dark and midnight hour.
And I prayed that my chums
Might be clothed with special power.
Yes I prayed for they have sacrificed
All the joys of college life.
That they may help a suffering
brother
In this great and cruel strife.
Then I saw the sick and suffering.
And the ambulance and red cross,
All the boys on guard and duty
Bringing joy, without a loss.
Then I prayed; and while I listened
I heard Jesus say: "Blessed are ye.
In as much as ye did it to the least of
these
Ye did it also, imto me."
Yes, I have answered God's high call-
ing
To spread the Gospel by his great
might.
But on the campus, in the midnight,
Btill I prayed
"God bless our boys tonight."

HERSHiP CAMPAIGN
N COLLEGE Y. M. C. A.
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FOR MEM-
BERS THIS WEEK— AIM 100 PER
CENT ENROLLMENT
Wednesday will be red letter day
in the Y. M. C. A. activities of the year
when the annual membership cam-
paign will be staged. The Y. M. C. A.
will mean more to the fellows this
year than ever before and every man
of Susquehanna should affiliate him-
self with this wo.-fhy organization.
There is much work lo be done this
year and the Y. M. C. A. needs every
follow to have a successful year. The
rooms have been repaired and we now
have quarters that are equal to those
of many large institutions. In the Y.
M. C. A. one gets the true fellowship
of college men. ThcMc all meet for
th^ betterment of themselves and
others.
What we want this year is a hundred
per cent enrollment: it i^; the privilege
and duty of every student to join the
association on Wednesday. Do not
put it off when you arc consulted but
join at once. The campaign will
start on Wednesday at 9 a.m., and
continue until 6 p.m Tv.-q teams, the
Reds and the Blues will do the recruit-
ing. The line-up of the reds includes
W. Brown, Rine, Auman, Staib and
Papenfus, while Harkins, Cole, Shoaf,
Bastian and Steumpfle will lead the
Blues. The scores '"ill be announced
every hour and an honor list will be
posted at 6 p.m., containing the names
of those A«ho have become members.
Watch the bulletins for further in-
formation.
Talk it up, studes, and let us make
this campaign a howling success.
FOOTBALL GAME
The Varsity will play Mt. Carmel on
Warner Field next Saturday. On the
following Saturday they will go to
Wllliamsport and play Dickinson Sem-
inary.
Y. M. C. A.
At the first meeting held in the nev,r
Y. M. C. A. rooms, we w'cre honored
by the presence of Dr. Allison as the
speaker for the evening. His words
backed by a modest bearing and com-
ing from a true Christian heart left
an impression on the minds of lys
hearers that will never be forgotten.
The substance of his message, w^hich
was mainly for the new students, was
as follows: You have made a great
change In coming from home to col-
lege because you have broken away
from influences that have heretofore
steadied your life. You are* here to
develope your mind, and are given
liberal opportunity to study things of
nature, wonder over pages of litera-
ture and history and delve into the
realms of biology. This is all vital,
but there is a greater phase, and that
Is your spiritual developement. "I
wish I could impress it on your minds
that we need spiritual food just as
much as we need food for our bodies,.
As the basis for the rest of his ad-
dress Dr. Allison selected I Cor. 16:13,
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong."
Watch ye. This is a warning to
watch out for danger, and the student
has the choice of following vice or
virtue. "I really pity the young fel-
low who has gotten into the habit of
staying away from the Y. M. C. A."
Stand fast in the faith. In this critic-
al period when starving out on new
lines of thought there is great danger

lege Theme of Discussion
(Concluded at foot of next column)
This was the keynote of the banquet
held in Johnstown la.^t Wednesday by
the Susquehanna Alumni who were
present at the conventions of the
Pittsburgh and Allegheny Synods.
Between forty and fifty were present
at this banciuet which was held in
the Y. M. C. A. rooms.
Joy reigned supremo and good fil-
lowship was rife. Many pleasantries
were passed between those present
and the recountinsf of former "adven-
tures" was certainly amusing to the
extreme. The games of old were gono
over and revised. Many excellent ad-
dresses were given and the college
songs and cht'crs were given again and
again.
The Rev. H. C. Michael, 'SG-'Og, pas-
tor of the Moxhani Lutheran church of
Johnstown, was toastraaster. The
speakers were the Rev. L. P. Young
'01-'04, of Elk Lick; Rev. Sanford N.
Carpenter 'SS-'OO, of Johnstown; Rev.
M. M. Allbeck '94-'97, of Monongahela;
Rev. W. G. Slonaker '97-'02, of West

Twilight and evening star!
And one clear call for me!
And, may there be no moaning of the
bar
When I put out to sea!
But .such a tide, as moving, seems
asleep I
Too full for Kound or foam,
When tliat which drew from
Oer the boundless deep.
Returns again, home.
Twilight and cveniug bell!
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadnes.s of
farewell
When 1 embark.
For, though, from out this bourne
Of Time and Space
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot, face to face.
When I have croBsed the bar!

There'.-, an cca.stacy in sitting
By I lie fireside alone;
When the evening shades have gather
ed
And the care.s of day have flown;
There's a joy well nigh the blissful
As upon the grate we gaze;
To_beliold in ictro.sptjction
Our Susquehanna days.
There's a joy beyond description.
Such as poets never penned,
In the ever welcome handshake
Of an Aliiia INIater friend :
And there'.^ nothing so refreshing,
Nothing quite so good as that;
Wlien tlic greeting follows gayly
With a Susquehanna chat.
There are songs that thrill our being
With an impulse most divine; —
Glorious,hymns whose very echo
Leave an impress most benign:
But the one that stirs our heart
St-iUIgS
Till they echo loud and long
Is the jolly, cheerful echo
Of a Susquehanna song.
There are men whoso very presence
Seem to elevate our thought;
Like llie noted ancient wisemcn
To our lives they've incense brought:
But when filled with gloom and sad-
ness
And we long for sudden joys.
Then, oh then! for just a moment.
With the Susquehanna boys!
There are mansions, large and daz-
zling
Such as rich men call their home;
Halls and corridors artistic
Thru which men delight to roam:
But ihe dearest of all buildings —
Modern house or ancient halls —
Is the little group of structures
Within Susquehanna's walls.
— H. C. MICHAEL '96. '99.
WHICH COLLEGE?
Only one man out of every three
hundred and eighty-five who graduate
at state Colleges and universitic? en-
ters the Christian ministry; while ono
in five of the graduates of the Church
college does. You can almost count on
your lingi'r.s our preaclu'is wlio come
from state institutions; and in tho fu-
ture we will look to them in vain to
supply the church wih li:>aders. The
Christian college has furnished three-
fourths of our ministers; and it Is to
them we must look for our supply of
men.
The church sliQuld give liberally for
Christian education in order to provide
for her future maintenance and wel-
fare, by training efflcituit leadership. —
Dr. Perry.
Vice Presid'ent Marshall uttered a
true statement not long since when he
said, "The trouble with our American
education is that it has in it too much
materialistic science, and too little of
God Almighty."

EDITORIAL COMMENT
"What would you do if your team
lost every same this year?" said one
of the footl)all men a( -fi recent "pep"
mef'tin?;. There's food for a bit of deep |^'
thinking in that question. Not that
anyl3ody imagines that our team is
really poing to lose every game of the
season, hut the query points the way
to a truer realization of just what con-
sistent loyalty is. But there isn't any
need to say "consist'^nt loyalty" —
loyalty implies consistency. How
many of us are really and truly loyal
to our team? Of course when the
team wins, we can shout as loudly as
the next one, yet when the eleven
comes home defeated, don't, we some-
times besln to "crab" and complain?
That's not loyalty. Your "rooting"
does not amount to anything if it is
not as loud one moment as the next.
But you might cheer for the team
from the beginning of the season to
the last game, and still not realize the
farthest extent of which loyalty is
capable. You must not only be a
"rootcM," you must he a supporter as
well. That means to offfr your serv-
ices, to be out on the field or grand-
stand whenever you can. It means
"to talk up," to slap the fellows on the
back, and wish them success, to let
the team know you're with them all
the time.
The men out there on the field are
working very, very hard for us and for
our college. Even if they should lose
every game it is our duty to stand by
and loyally support them. But with
true support, our team isn't going to
lose. Thi- responsibility rests with all
of us ior Iht^ success of the season.
Who will be the chief booster?
—Selected.
PASSING OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
At one time Susquehanna Tniversity
was in need of a science building and
a house was remodeled to serve the
purpose. But the tinir' came v/hen
Susquehanna got a iial Science Hall
and the old one was no longer needed.
But the student body had increased
and more dormitory room was requir-
ed and accordingly the building was
converted into a dormitory and was
called the Annex. Tradition states
that in its early history it was known
as Yawning Chasm but this was later
superceded by the suggestive and ro-
mantic name of Sleepy Hollow.
And Sleepy Hollow it still is and
hollower than ever. Lightef, warmer
and more free from varmits, especial-
ly those inhabitating beds. Sleepy
Hollow was constantly in demand as
preferable to the unpleasant and in-
convenient condition of Selinsgrove
Hall and the number of applicants for
rooms in the former was even greater
after Mr. Decker had installed a
toilet and a hot water system. Since
upperclassmen always have the pre-
ference. Sleepy Hollow was the home
of many illustrious seniors and juniors.
The year '16-'17, opened with ten
men in Sleepy Hollow, one junior, five
sophs, three fresh, and one sub-fresh.
The name of the house was voted
worn out and a Greek dictionary Avas
consulted to find the Greek equivalent,
the initial letters of which were found
to be Upsilom Kappa. Thus it became
known as T'psilon Kappa House. War
broke out ,and fraternity houses op-
ened with the effect that the year '17-
'18 opened without a man in Y. K.
House. Selinsgrove Hall had been
mufh improved in the remodeling and
now surpasses Y. K. House as much
as was the reverse the year before.
And so Sleepy Hollow is deserted.

*Th(
AMERICA'S OBJECT
object of thi.s war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from the
menace and the actual power of a vast
mililary establishment controlled by
an iiiesponsibli' Rovernment which,
bavins .^"rjily planned to dominate
fhe \yorld, proceded to carry the plan
out without rpsard to the sacred ob-
lisaiioiis of tivaty or the long-estab-
lished practices and louK-cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time for
the war; delivered its blow fiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide of
blood — not the blood of soldiers only,
but the blood ol innocent women and
children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands balked but not
dittai.d, ihe enemy of four-fifths of
the worlj." — From President Wilson's
Reply '0 the Pope.
It was the scene of many a midnight
feed. It witnessed many a ducking,
numerous friendly bouts and frequent
insignificant scraps. It was the cen
ter from which the Sophs set out
against the Freshmen and was like-
wise the place of secret plots of the
Freshmen. Within its walls preat
quantities of sandwitches, pie, apples,
ice cream, cider and tobacco were
consumed.
Under its floors are still concealed
SOX, shoe tongues and handkerchiefs
carried thither by rats or mice. It
was here that Oscar was clipped and
M^irkley was cared for after his shave.
From here set ont the Death Crew
to work their havoc on disobedient
Fresh and untamed Soph.
Its walls often re-echoed with the
strains of soft music from niandolute,
violin or guitar in accompaniment to
songs of S. U. or Y. K. Many mid-
nights witnesses some industrious
student in Sleepy Hollow editing ma-
terial for The Lanthorn, or The Sus-
quehanna or pouring over the next
day's lessons. Ever warm, cheery,
light and convenient it is little wonder
that its inmates were so devoted to
it.
And now, empty and desolate, it is a
constant remindPr to us, ex-inhabi-
tants, that our happy days of Y. K.
are over and we wonder if others will
ever have the .same good times. And
we wonder, too, what will become of
the building. Will it be converted
into a temporary library; will it be
remodeled and be made the equal of
Selinsgrove Hall *in sanitation and
beauty or will it be left is it is. Thus
we wonder but we cannot help but
realize that the days of the supremacy
of the old house are over and watch
with some regret the passing of Sleepy
Hollow.— W. 1). A, 19,
The Susquehanna hopes that the
students will get into the habit of
patronizing merchants who are ad-
vertising in our columns. Their kind-
ness to the college can be appreciated
mighty well in this way. *

FIELD SECRETARY NOTES
Sunday, October 7, gave us the
privilege of preaching in St. John's
Church, Espy, Pa., whose active and
devoted pastor Is the Rev. Harry W.
Miller, a recent graduate from our
Theological Department. There are
three churches in the charge. Harvest
Home was celebrated in the country
churches, with pastor in charge, while
we conducted the services in the
town. We preached in the morning
and gave our Luther lecture in the
evening. The next day we visited and
addressed the High School of Espy at
its morning session and gave our Sus-
quehanna lecture in the evening to the
people of St. John.
Tuesday evening we lectured on Sus-
quehanna in the Hidlay Church of the
Espy charge. Coming home that
night the gasoline of the pastor's car
became exhausted, and the two preach-
ers enjoyed a hike of about two miles,
leaving the car by the roadside to
await attention in the morning. The
walk did u.s good.
Kednesday morning, pastor Miller,
rnnvpycil ns in his car to West Ber-
wick, where in the high school at the
morning session we conducted the de-
votional service and gave our sterc-
opticon lecture on Susquehanna. I'
was our great joy Wednesday even-
ing in Berwick to attend and address
the prayer meeting of Holy Trinity
Church, Rev. C. S. Bottiger, pastor.
We served Holy Trinity for more
than nine years as pastor, and it is
always a delight to meet the people of
the charge. Brother Bottiger is a man
of fine spirit and we feel perfectly at
home among the dear people and with
their good pastor. The church has
done marvelous things since we left
under the guidance of their new lead
er. The new church bulldog is very
beautiful and the congregation is hap-
pily at work in all its departments.

We received a most cordial recep-

during the week. Principals and
teachi^rs accorded us every courtesy.
Thursday evening found us safe at
home, and the next day it rained.
We put in the day in our oflQce, clean-

YOUNG MEN'S ASSOCOATION TO PHILO AND CLIO HAD VERY

WORK— WORTHY ENTERPRISE NEW MEMBERS RECEIVED
Under the present war conditions
Susquehanna is facing what might be
termed an "athletic famine." Every
member of the 1916 football team is
in some branch of the service so while,
Susquehanna's measure of patriotism
is heaping full yet it has torn an ex-
tremely large hole in her various
sports.
Enrollment in all the departments
of the uinversity is much lower than
heretofore and as a result the athletic
association has fewer members which
means a very marked decrease in the
amount of money coming in from the
fees.
In view of this lack of material and
money the board decided to discon-
tinue basketball and possibly baseball
for this season, rather than go farther
in debt and still not have a winning
team. The proposition was placed be-
fore the student body Thursday morn-
ing and they unanimously sustained
the board in its action.
In place of Varsity basketball a
In view of the fact that help in al-
most all lines of work is scarce, and
men that are willing to work are hard
to find, the Y. M. C. A. cabinet in their
last meeting decided to open an em-
ployment bureau. /
There are many young men at Sus-
quehanna, who are working their way
thru college, that would be glad to
work a fe-^ hours a day or on Satur-
days or at whatever time they would
have an opportunity. We have relia-
ble men that w^e can send out and
know that they will do satisfactory
work. We have men hero, who have
come from the farm, from the office,
and many other lines of work, who are
waiting to go out and do their bit, in
order that they may gain an education.
The Y. M. C. A. has grasped the op-
portunity where it can render more
service to the young men, who are
striving to u.';e up every idle moment
and make their lives worth while.
Also to be of service to those who are
looking for young men to do their

Philo Literary Society mot in regu-
lar session on last Friday evening in
Philo Hall. There was a good au-
dience to witness the program and the
presence of many new students was
an encouragement to the old ones to
continue their efforts and keep Philo
to her high standard of usefulness.
The society voted to receive Miss
Penny, Messrs. Faust, Mollar and
Swanger, as active members and these
persons were duly initiated. The
program followed. An essay by Miss
Woodruff was well rt'ceived and Mr.
Wm. Decker delightfully entertained
with a declamation. Miss Dorothy
Rearick ably substituted for Miss Lulu
Fetterolf in the original oral ion class.
A cornet solo by SpeiRelmire was a de-
lightful variation in the program and
an encore was required before the
class was closed. Cassler read the
current news and the select reading
was read by Miss Jane Potsford sub
stituting Miss Christine Schoch.

features will be added to these games
as attractions and announcements
will be made later when all plans are
worked out.

cesful last year will be continued and
some interesting games are slated.
Such drastic actions quite a bomb
throwi^ into the Susquehanna camp,
but 'was decided by those, who
probably know inside conditions bet-
ter than the ones who may critisise
the action, that such a step was the
one and only sane move to make in

No matter how small the job may be,

work it may be, if you have anything
you want done, just let us know and
we will help you to find the man you

The Measure of Manhood
The standard om manhood's
strength alone,
It isn't a measure of Sinue and Bone:
Your brain and your brawn aren't
worth thirty cents,
H you don't go on with the things you
commence.
Reward's for the plodder, the bulldog
jawed fellow.
Who never turns blue and who never
gets yellow,
Who learns how to suQer without
help or bellow
And smiles all the while as he faces
his trials-
Success is far more than a matter of
wit;
It can't be achieved without courage
and grit.
The meeting last Tuesday was in
the hands of the students. Brief ad
dresses were given by Greninger,
Janson and Brown. Shoaf then brot
up the business and outlined the plan
of campaign. A very profitable even-
ing was spent.
Wednesday evening after the close
of the campaign the boys gathered In

the rooms for a social time. Several
musical selections and readings were
given by the fellows after which a
lunch was served. Miggs entertained
for a while with some humorous
stories which were well received. This
social gathering brought the members
together for a sociable evening and is
only one of many which will be held
thruout the year.
At our next meeting the Rev. Chas.
Bowers will be present and address
us. He is a very able speaker and is
sure to have a message well worth
while.
In this world of dust and clay,
Why not work and pray,
God may need you,
Why sit still and idly play.
Begin to think and never shirk,
God's chosen duty for you;
Bear the toil, endure the pain,
And heaven youll richly gain.
One grand success. . . Those are the
only words to fully explain the Y. M.
C. A. membership campaign last
Wednesday. Every student is now a
member or the association.
Immediately after the chapel serv-
ices wore over last Wednesday morn-
ing Dr. Manhart turned the assembly
over lo the Y. ^l. C. A. and after a
spicy talk by Professor Brungart the
campaign teams took charge. Each
student was interviewed and as his
consent was secured his name was cal-
led out and placed on the honor list in
the front of the room.
In less than fifteen minutes nearly
all the male students and the faculty
had expressed their willingness lo
join. When the assembly was dismis-
sed the teams started after those who
had not yet become members and bo-
fore noon all were enrolled.
The Y. M. C. A. is now fully or-
ganized and ready for work. Witli
the hearty cooperation of all the mem-
bers the Y. M. C. A. will boom. A

CLIO
Regular meeting of the Clionian
Literary Society, held Friday evening,
October 19, was an excellent demon-
stration of the spirit and zeal that is
invested in the members of this
society.
The hall was filled to its extrem-
ity and an excellent program was ren-
dered. Mr. Bastian read an essay.
after which Mr. Janson gave a hum-
orous oration in which he demonstrat-
ed a number of different languages.
The debate: "Rtpolved that Preach-
ers ought to be Married," was ably
supported on the ailirmativi' by the>
Messrs. Middlesworth and Shannon,
on the negative by Brov.n and Ard.
The judges decided in favor of the
affirmative.
I'lano duets wero rendered by the
Misses Smith and Steininger, following
wTiich was a select oration by Shadel.
Pupeitfus was chosen extempore by
the president and gave some very sug-
gestive ideas on "Clio and her work as
inducive to noble .sentiments."
Clio has been very successful in the
solicitation of new members. To the
present time twenty-two new mem-
bers have been aCQliated with this so-
ciety. In addition to which three oth-
er names have been proposed.
Several social meetings will be held
and the year will be one of the pieas-
autest. Considerable deputation work
is being planned as well as various
other religious activities. The new
feature of the Y. M. C. A. will be the
employment bureau which has been
instituted to help the students who de-
sire work to get it.
This year ought to be a banner year
for the organization. With a full
membership and the good manage-
ment of the cabinet there is no doubt
about the success of this year's work.
Once more Susquehanna had to boar
the shame of a defeat when last Sat-
urday Mount Carmel came to Selins-
grove and put it over us to the amount
of 21-6. Tlio our boys played hard and
earnestly the visitors were too much
and the game ended with them on the
long end of the score.
Mount Carmel was the first to score
when after a series of lino plunges
they took the ball over near the end
of the first quarter. The try at goal
was successful and the quarter ended
with the score 7-0 in their favor. In
the second quarter Susquehanna came
back strong and a successful pass by
Pendergast to Janson secured a touch-
down. Pcndergast failed to kick goal.
Botli teams wore unable to score furth-
er during the half and it ended 7-6.
Soon after the last half started,
Pendergast was injured and had to
bwve the game. He had been hurt
several times before but was unv.-illinS
to leave. Without him the team seem-
ed to have lost their pep for two more
touchdowns were secured but the goal
kicks were unsuccessful. A bad pass
by centre caused a safety which
brought the score to 21.
Bit-idta 'he iujuricH v.iiich Pender-
gast 1 pceived, several others were also
hurt. Shannon and Cole had to leave
ihe game and other minor hurts were
reecived.
Tho we lost, yet our boys deserve a
lot of credit for staying with the game
and helping thru the season. It is
much better to have a team tho it be a
losing one than to go thru without one.
It will tide us over till next year when
we expect to be able to put a first class
team on the field, one which will be a
great credit to tho instituion.
AMPLY REPAID
Germany spent millions of money
in this country for "slush" purposes
and all it got was a declaration of
war that in the end is going to mean
its finish. America will repay that
money with compound interest.

IT CAN BE DONE
Somebody said it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
That maybe it couldn't, but ho would
be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So ho buckled right in with a trace
of a grin
On his face; if he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled tho
thing
That couldn't bo done, and lie did it.
Somebody scoffed, "Oh you'll never do
that,
At lea.st no one over has done it."
But ho took off his coat, and ho took
off his hat,
And the finst think wo knew he'd
begun it.
With a lilt of his chin and a bit of a
grin,
Without any doubling or quidit.
He started to sing as he tackled tho
thing
That couldn't lie done, and ho did It.
There are thousands lo tell you it can-
not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;

AMBITION AND SUCCESS
Ambition is the motor power of life.
Whatever any lyan is engaged in, am-
bition is necessary to goad him on.
There are obstacles everywliore that
must lie ovoi'come; tlierc^ is work to
do, hard v»ork. There is no such thing
as being l)orn witli a silver spoon in
the mouth, or playing one's way into
so called success and achievement
wherever there is achievement, wlier-
ever a great natne looms up in his-
tory, look lor work, thought, energy,
ambition.
We start out in life witli great vis-
ions of the future, ideals of our future
greatness, dreams of the ce niim
honors. But as the years pass on, dJs-
appointjnont creep.'? in. Especially is
this true of the intellectual life.
Hoping and enthusiastic wil the stu-<
dent start on his "care.er." He will
mak(> the world i- cognize him, make it
realize that a new power has entered
upon this sphere, "lli' ha.-3 a;?nira-
tions of limitless space" of boundless
renown; his ideas are far above in the
skies. Time goes on and the reaction
sets in. Truth lies deep, and r(>cn!ires
nnuli labor, arduous labor, to bring
but a few nuggets of this jirecious
metal to light, and then it is oft<~n
very dross. Tlie v.orker begins to
question: Why? What for? To what
purpose? What's the use? He begins
to examint' his powers and to maki^
some bitter discoveries. It begins to
dawn upon him that ho, tremlding
with the fires of boundless ambition,
yet is hindered l)y the slough of mor-
ality, is hampered in his aspirations,
has but a fi'W years to live, but a
short span of time to do his work, to
accomplish his purposes and reach his
ideals. He is tied and fettered by
his own mean being: he is bound by a
nut.shell. The sldff is little and th.-
sea is l)ig. "He st niches toward
ideal beauty, and impolently they fall
back at thp coniaet of our clay and
morality."
The realization of these sad facts
discourages, often embitters him. He
begins to question whether it matters
how the farce plays out, ju«t so it is
played quickly. He sees nothing in
life but the dull routine; eat, work,
sleep, and then sleep, work, eat— one
continual round of dullness and fruit-
less energy. Still there is that
consciousness of strength and power,
the will to do, the wish to become,
perhaps even the joy of having done.
On he goes once more to try again.
Perhaps he can still achieve and gain
success against such handicaps; per
haps, the mere ruins may be fitted
out beautifully. Oth<'r obstacles then
obstruct the way, other disillusions
come. He finds that an awful, dead-
ening weariness overtakes him at
times, he is tired of all. He will drop
out of the race disgusted; he would
1,
slop, his hopes are snapped. So often
he is about to dispair of all, and still
the energy, the life power, and am-
bition goad him on and drive him;
the thirst will be slaked. There is
but little satisfaction in it for him.
Doe.s not the multitude sneer, and
mapy a passerby reward him with a
pitying or deriding smile? Are there
not other things that satisfy more?
He could he a demigog in society, be-
come th(^ fashion of the upper classes,
loung(> away his days in Idleness and
enjoyment and pleasures as his |
friends do. How often have they not !
tried to lead him from the' path that [
leads to the city he is trying to reach, j
and onl.v the occasional glimpses of
the spires afar off suddenly Hashing
thru the circling clouds haA'^e kept him
on his journey. But alas! too soon the
vapors closed again over the beautiful
vision. And so he goes on, unsatisfied
riud bittpr, on the one hand liis al-
mighty ambition, on the other the limi-
tations of his being, convinced that
"man plods his ways thru thorns to
ashes," and that
We -wiither from our youth, we gasp
away — ■
Sick — Sick—; unfound the boon, un-
slacked the thirst,
Though to the last, in verge of oui
decay.
Some phantom lures such as v.i
sought at fust —
But all too late. So we are doubly
cursed,
Love, fame, ambition, a\arice, 'lis the
same—
Eath idle, and all ill, and none the
V, orst.
For all are meteors with a different
name,
-And dealli the sable smoke, where
vanished the flame.
Such is the character of intellectual
life. Where is the solution? Tfoheri
Browning deals with this probleni
very much. Dealing with the soul,
the individual soul, he takes into con-
sideration man's power and his limitr
tions, his ambitions and his pooi
achievements, his ideals and their un-
satisfactory pursuits, his aspiration to
soar to heavon with waxen wings. He
has also a solution for it all. The
worker should not despair. The
present world is not his proper sphere.
Its a world out of joint. His energy
and soul i»ower are too liig and largi^
for his cramped surroudings, and only
the future^ life will and must bring a
full realization, with adequate results
and satisfaction for his energies. The
present world is hut a pi'oparation for
the future, and only by taxing his
powers to the limit does the worker do
bis duty as ne ought. To choke and
stifle this vital energy to drop out of
the race were base and ignoble. Both
paths lead to failurees fut the one to
a magnificent and noble, the other To
a hitter moan, and shameful failure.
For this solution, ^^hicll Browning
brings in very many of his poems he
has always been an inspiration to in-
tellectual workers. And there truly
does lie a truth orthy wto he remem-
bered. Men look for success, and
often seek it in the vain flattery of
newspapers and magazines, in the
homage of an ignorant and easily de-
ceived public, in the cheers and vile
adulation of the masses. Yet it is not
success. Crowds gather as readily to
see a induntebank as to see an angel
from heaven. It may be sign of suc-
cess, a really merited praise of un-
stinted efforts. True success lies in
the pursuit, in untiring, unflagging en-
ergy and power put into ones work.
Life is a continual trying again, and
true success is the rising of the
Phoenix from the ashes of disoppoint-
ment and failures to an ever renewing
of the life energies and ambitions.

THE REFORMATION
in Principle and Action
Rev. Sanford N. Carpenter, D.D.
Former Instructor Carthage Col.
'The Reformation in Principle
and Action is different from the
common run of books on the sub-
ject of tlie Reformation. . . This
is an up-to-date history of the
Reformation. Its modernity ap-
pears time and again notably
m the references to the present
world war. . . But its modernity
is not the only feature which
makes this book different. The
word Reformation in the title
comnrehends the entire Protest-
ant Reformation. . . The reader
may not tarry long with any
one person or at any one place,
but before he leaves on# country
and stens over into another, he
hns had a close and elear sur-
vev of the relieious nollticaiand
serial life of the rountiv he 1nst
left." — Lutheran Church Visitor.

This book is a new departure in the

toms, social, domestic, industrial, finan-
cial and religious conditions. '
The book is well arranged and writ-
ten in a manner that is easily un-
derstood. The important things jn the
history, laws and conditions in the
state are taken up and explained in
a very concise manner.
Its chapters treat on the following
General Survey, History Prior to the
Revolution, the Revolutionary Period,
History from Admission to the Union,
GovernniPrtt, Military Affairs, Man-
ners and Customs, State Finance, Re-
sources, ReligioQ, Conditions Affec-
ting the Home, Education and the
Professors, Literature, Art and Sci-
ence, Social Systems, Care of Crimin-
als.
With the exception of a portion of

what biased the work is free from all
religious or political factonalisms.

JOTS AND OLOTS FROM
THE COLLEGE CfliOS
Will these heavy frosts take some
of the green out of these Freshmen?
Be sure and take your cameras
with you on your hikes and get some
pictures for the Lanthorn.
Well, its the same old story, Char-
! lotte and Erny or Erny and Charlotte
"Das wird noch was verdun."
Why not start another "Bachelor's
Club"? It may relieve the financial
depression and also keep the girls
from feeling slighted if they haven't
a date.
How conceited we are — when our
names do not appear in print we
grumble and when they do we feel
hurt— (in public) — but down in our
hearts we are pleased.
Some people are naturally good na-
tured and others are naturally witty
but the members of the staff can't be
both at the same time so if you have
a pun give it to some member of the
staff and if you have a kick do the
same.
Don't be selfish or a toghtwad when
you have finished reading the Susque-
hanna. Put on. a stamp and send it to
your high school friends for they will
like to read it and at the same time
you are helping the college boost and
everyone will boost with you.
If you don't like the way this paper
is run don't knock but come to the
staff and make your complaint, for
they are always ready to listen even
tho they don't always take it.
One more man is now in the lists
for the hand of one of our fair stu-
dents. A four sided duel is soon to
be fought and the bets are on Neidig.
Chestnuts seem to be getting ex-
pensive, especially to a dozen Fresh-
men.
Everyone likes to have their picture
taken, so go over to Science Hall next
week and have it done.
REVERIES OF A BACHELOR
Stop not, Loiter not. Look not back-
ward, if you would be among the fore-
most. The great Now — so quick, so
broad, so fleeting — is yours; in an
hour it will belong to the eternity of
the Past. The Temper of Life is to be
made good by big honest blows;
stop striking and you will do nothing;
strike feebly and you will do almost
as little; Success rides on every
hour; grapple it and you win; but
without a grapple it wull never go
with you. Work is the weapon of
honor, and who lacks the weapon will
never triumph.
OUR FIFTY-EIGHTH YEAR OF SERVICE
We are entering our fifty-ninth season of business. PERFECT
SERVICE in furnishing Costumes for plays is still our watch-word.
Our Academic Cap and Gown department gladly quotes rental or sel-
ling rales. A request will bring you a copy of our latest Costume
Catalogue Number 59.
WAAS & SON,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.
The one tinn' when a fellow feels
he ought to be let down easy is when
he is hard up.
All that glitters isn't gold but lots of
people are quite satisfied with tinsel.
IT CAN BE DONE
(Continued from First Page)
There are thousands to point out to
you one by one.
The dangers that wait to assail you;
But just buckle right in with a bit of
a grin.
Then take off your coat and go to it,
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

LOCK HAVEN NOiAL
IN SPIRITED GAME SUSQUEHAN-
NA DEFEATED BY NORMAL-
GREAT IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
Being unable to get together in the
first part of the game, Susquehanna
Informals lost to Lock Haven Normal
on Saturday 18-7. Our team showed
better form than in previous games
and had it not been for their weakness
in the first quarter the score would
have undoubtedly been reversed.
Normal won the toss and Susque-
hanna kicked off. By large gains
around ends and several line plunges
Lock Haven secured their first touch-
down during the first few minutes c>
the game. They were unsuccessful in
thPir attempt to kick goal. Susque-
hanna received and made first down
by plunges. Bastian then carried the
ball around right end for 20 yards.
The ball was being pushed further and
further into Lock Haven's territory
when a fumble gave them the ball.
Ganiposky then made a spectacular
run of sixty yards after dodging thru
the entire line securing another touch-
down. Normal again failed to kick
goal and just as we received the half
was over.
In the second half our men came
back strong and by a long forward
to Warner and large line plunges soon
advanced the ball to Lock Haven's 5
yard line. Ent plunged thru for a
iouchdown and Captain Janson kicked
goal. During the third quarter Shoaf
broke thru the Normal line and block-
ed a kick, Schadel secured the ball
and made a large run with it. Sus-
quehanna advanced to their ten yard
line when a costly fumble gave the
opponents the ball. During the remain-
ing part of the game we were unable
to score. The line-up:
Susquehanna. Normal.

The above call to pencils, or words

She says the government needs

Last Wednesday evening at "eight
o'clock there occured one of the jol-
liest parties of the season when the
Y. W. C. A. cabinet entertained the
girls at at "kid party." The invita-
tions were given for the girls to for-
get their age and dignity and remem-
ber the games they enjoyed as chil-
dren. Promptly at eight o'clock — be-
cause children are always prompt to
a party — the girls assembled in the
art studio in the basement of Seibert
Hall, which had been decorated for the
occasion and then the fun began. One
little boy was not old enough to attend
a party alone so his grandma had to
bring him. Of course she could not
walk very fast so they were a few
minutes late but after they arrived at
the parly grandma must have forgot-
ten her age for she played games with
the children and didn't seem to mind
being old at all. Anyone looking in
at the windows would have declared
it was play hour at a kindergarten.
There were children wearing rumpers,
children wearing bloomers, children
with socks, and some of the boys were
so impolite as to forget to remove
their car" The littl" girls all had
their hair freshly curled and they look-
ed as if their nurses just got them
ready for the party. The boys were
proud of their girls and of course
tried to show off fo the benefit of
their own particular girl who pre-
tended not to notice but she didn't
mist* much just the same. All the
games which children enjoy were
played and several contests were held
and prizes, which would please the
kids were given to those winning the
contests. There were several tables
filled with games at one end of the
room and these also were made use of
by the children. After they tired of
the games the most important part of
the party to children — and perhaps to
others too — was announced. The chil-
dren were all invited to come into a
room just off from the scene of the
party and refreshments suitable to the
occasion and supposed age of the chil-
dren were served. Soon after this the
party broke up because of course chil-
dren are not expected to stay late at
a party. The opinion of the girls
seemed to be that this was a very
novel and delightful way of entertain-
ing and everyone reported a jolly,
good time.

Y. M. C. A. TONIGHT
At the regular meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. this evening the Rev. I. S. Sas-
saman will be present and speak.
Rev. Sassaman is a loyal alumnus of
the college and has been doing great
things for Susquehanna. All who hear
him will receive great benefit. Let
every fellow be out for the meeting
this evening at 7:15.
He always kneeled before the maid

Captain John A. S. Schoch, battalion
adjutant, 107 Field Artillery, Camp
Hancock, Ga., sent The Times this
week the current issues of The Regi-
mental Reveille, a journal published
in the interests of the personnel of
the organization.
The feature of the first issue, off the
press a fortnight ago, was an article
by Maj. Rees and Capt. Schoch, giv-
ing the history of the 107th.
A highlight in the t^i cond issue was
a sermon by Lieut, Burleigh A. Pet-
ers, Susquehanna alumnus and athlete,
who is chaplain of the organization.
Lieut. Peters* admonition was to
keep body and mind clean, and" was
forcefully brought out in these words :
"In the midst of our intensive train-
ing for the gigantic struggle across the
sea, it behooves each and every soldier
in our regiment to think and ponder
over our present position.
"We are at war — we have voluntari-
ly given our services to our beloved
country. We have fdt the constant
pull on our hearts — when our country
was placed in a stf.te of belligerency
to go shoulder our part of the national
responsibility in order that our friends
and loved ones at home might be pro-
tected and their liberty made safe. We
heard the call io uftiy and obeyed it.
Now it is for us as men, soldiers and
countrymen to so live that we can ac-
count for our actions not only hero in
camp, but in foreign service as well,
in a creditable manner.
"Are we really comprehending our
serious mission of duty and service?
Have we been living, while here in
camp, with an expectation of receiving
orders to return home soon? Have we
thought this is a duplicate of Mexican
border s.rvice? In other words, have
wi> rt-ulizid the seriousness of it all?
If we haven't. It is high time to begin.
"To render efficient service to all
concerned we must be men of good
physical caliber. Very truly have we
been examined by medical doctors and
have been pronounced sound and
"sane," but that doesn't say we will
always remain in that condition. The
fact of the matter is we must con-
stantly be taking care of ourselves so
that we can withstand the stress and
strain "over there."
"It doesn't say, boys, that even if
we do possess a sound body we are
privileged to dissipate in all manner
and form, thereby undermining the
very foundation of our healthful bod-
ies whence cometh our service to our
countiy. We must be men, every inch
men.
"But the physical part of man does
not alone constitute a real man. He
must be a moral man and his moral-
ity must depend upon his spirituality
to be of any avail in the battles of
life. In other words, a man must do
right and live right because It Is his
honest conviction deduced from Di-
vine truth— <Jod's Word.
"We have entered the service be-
cause It was our honest conviction
that it was our duty and responsibility.
This will In all probability be better
for us to fight, but It's our conviction
that we ought to fight them. Hence,
our preparation for efficient service to
Walter's barn near Doglown was* the
scene of reveling last Tliursday even-
ing when the Juniors held a barn
dance there. It was one of those
nights you read about in book.'?, a
silvery moon, a gentle breeze, etc., oh
yes, it was great. Well anyway, the
jolly Juniors departed for the scene
of activity about 7 p.m. under the
cnaperonage of Mr. and Mr.s. T. H.
Speigelmire and Mrs. J. I. Wood-
ruff. The barn was decorated with
corn fodder, and other autumnal dec-
orations and cider flowed in abund-
ance until Pappy got on the job, and
then, well, it disappeared rather niy.s
teriously. The evening was spent in
playing old-fashioned games. Songs
were not absent either as Jess and
Chris rendered several beautiful se-
lections. Schadel demonstrated his
aljility at barn dancing, in fact he
was a regular Vernon Cassel. Mum
Seel, always .surrounded by a bevy of
admiring girls had an immense time
while Scrooge and Speig were at
swords points over some affair which
all understand. Pie, cake, apples, and
more cider were served after every-
one was tired. Soon i[terw?.rds tb'^
bunch started home, but not as a
bunch for somehow they seemed to go
in pairs. Scrooge, however, was some-
what peeved since he was with the
largest crowd going home, a crowd of
three. From later reports we hear
that everyone arrived home safely al-
tho several were sick the following
day and among these was Pappy. Oh,
yes, Bastian reports a good time.
(Concluded at foot of next column)
(Continued from preceding Column)
assure us the desired objective. Why
not apply the same battles, the same
preparation today, to assure us the
victory when all earthly battles have
been waged and we lay down our
lives?
"This question is of no little import,
both to officers and men. Our friends
back home look upon us aa being
loyal to our nation and so we are; but
are we loyal to that higher democracy,
God's nation? Are we willing to obey
the call to duty from God and to rally
around His flag of truth and righteous-
ness as we do to our beloved "Old
Glory"? If we are, we are not only
assuming a dual responsibility, but al-
so bringing comfort and cheer to our
fathers, mothers, wives, sweethearts
and friends back home who are vitally
interested in us.
"Let us repair our old ship, if it has
been neglected, and sail out proudly
on life's sea under the two grand old
flags'-olir God'a and our Nation's."

Harry Shoaf, Bx. 419,
Where pelticoat;; are. there will the
men be gathered together.
The nisht of Octoboi- 2 1rli, brought
forth wonderful realizations to the
jolly cla.'^s of '21. As tlio cvining
stars began to twinkle in ihc sky and
the pale duskness of an autumn ev-
ening cast its shadow over the earth,
the moon pi}oiing out occa.'^ionally
from behind ihe clouds, threw it.g
beams of light upon a band of stu-
dents ably chaperoned by Mrs. Aver
and Plot'. ICiiixr, quietly stealing
away from the campus of old Susque-
hanna, and making their way to a spot
where all bad bet'ii jirepared for an
evening of happiiii ss and bliss.
While the disappointed victims of
fate plodded their weary way over the
haunted rartli, and gazed upon tho
place of nioirim'.'iit with down-cast
and envious heart, there could be
heard strange sounds, such as tho oc-
casional gruff of a "Ijcar" caused by
a sudden downpour of rain, and as if
by reecho came the low Ijut. omnious
grown of the "wolf" as it paced to
and fro, as if to protect the hall, half
concealing the outbursts of merriment,
which only Freshmen know how to
make; not that those within whose
valor has been iested unu proven upon
a previous occasion might be benefit-
ted, but that the wolls themselves, of
that good old banquet room, might be
guarded from the penetrating blows
of the envious ax or the penetrating
glance of a would-be evil doer.
It was indeed a night of strangness,
spooky with uncanny tread of ghosts
and goblins, and the hideous gleam of
jock-o-lanterns squinting from neath
the shadows of a corn shock, looked
upon a band of meni'makers, from
whom there constantly arose peals of
laughter.
And as if caused by this truly ro-
mantic night there seemed to be instil-
led in the hearts of those present, that
spirit of romaiioi- whiiu bi-aiiH loith
.'. .irds of love and undying affection.
Then " itb lond luf-moiief? of an ev-

recollections of glistening cider rosy
cheeked apples, luscious pumpkin pies,
and all that is necessary to make a
Hallowe'en party a decided success, the
revellers slowly wended their way
through the encirclung shadows of the
awakening dawn, back to the scenes
alread> dear to their hearts.
HEALTH NOTES

Always take a bath after daily ex-

minutes for a vigorous rubbing. Do
not wait for the water to cool before
taking the bath, as it should be taken
immediately after exercise, when the

COLLEGE WAR SERVICE
Perhaps the most generous of all
the gifis of young manhood to the war
Is coming from colleges. The students
of America are responding in measure
unequniled by any other class of citi-
the call of patriotism,
drain upon the student body,"
New York daily that has been
investigating the fall enrollment in
the colleges, "is disproportionately
greater than upon any other class or
set of young men." At eastern and
middle western colleges it finds a re-
duction of ten to fifty per cent in at-
tendance. This ratio doubtless hold.'?
for other parts of the country as well.
This first-if-all offer of service, this
risk of health and future and life by
college men, this first rush of the
keenest and most promising of the
,..-,„„„ i:rp jjj ^Yic nation, at this hour
crisis, may well give a sen.se
and satisfaction to the col-
. the country, coupled tho it
soon must be with cutting sorrow.
It was so in Canada; it was so in
France and England. From the high
ideals of college life came the most
>!pontaneous, perhaps the most gen-
erous of all human gifts to the cause
of world democracy.
Who, then, has so great, so natural
a responsibility to ask that this gen-
erou.s offering of young manhood shall
be properly conserved? That its
services shall he the greatest possible?
That the sacrifices abroad shall not
be handicapped and weakened at
home?
Who has so direct an interest in the
preventing of waste at home — especial-
ly the supreme waste of wastes mo
unnecessarv, avoidable, vic'^as des-
truction of producing manhood, caus-
ed by thf liquor trofDc? It is not mere-
ly an economic waste, or a waste of
producing capacity that comes from
the age-old narcotic grip of this in-
stitution on every-day life — it is a
waste of the nation's moral strength
in the face of a world conflict.
Upon what class in America does
the duty of standing clear-cut for pro-
hibition come with such force at this
time as upon the colbges and college
students who understand, as many oth-
er classes do not, the strength that
comes from clean life at homo while
its armies are fighting abroad.
The prohibition movement comes
closer home, now, to the student
tlian it did last year. It is more per-
sonal whether he lives in dry terri-
tory or wet; it is more immediate,
more vital to him and his interests.
For he who remains in college — she
ho remains in college— must consid-
■r the possibility, the probability of
it is cuilege friend, trained in clean
army camps and kept by military regu-
liition from drink in our own cities,
meeting a new "social compulsion" to
drink, as they go abroad, such as has
never been known in college life.
To keep strong tlie demand for li-
(luor banishment so as to give popular
support to the clTorls of army, navy,
Y. M. C. A. and other leaders who are
striving to satrguard the clean life of
the men wlio go abroad, to insist on
war prohibition so as to save food and
men resources, to push strongly for
national prohibition as a suggestion
and example to the P^uropean allies of
Canada and the United States, to be
ready to express in behalf of the col-
leges of America one united voice in
support of tU,e National Prohibition
Amendment,' when again it comes up
in Congress, to "fill up the ranks" in
local, state, and national prohibition
service in place of those who are go
ing abroad, and make good at home
while they arc offering life on the bat
tie line in France is the new respon-
sibility brought by the war to the
college students who remain in college
this eventful year of 1917-18.

THE GREAT WORLD WAR
This is absorbing the greatest pos-
sible attention of our people, for its
proper prosecution and successful
termination means more to us and the
whole world of nations than anything
else.
We firmly believe that this terri-
ble international struggle will mark
the end of conditions that thrust this
world slaughter on unprepared nations
and which have shed so much innocent
blood — even of women and children.
However, under the providence of
God, we can see a world tranquility
and peace among nations, as the direct
outcome of this confiagration that
shall bless future generations to al-
mos an unbelievable degree.
This war has made most of the
world dry, and if it should give us
aproximate disarmament international
blessings almost undreamed of would
flow from it.
"Outlawry" among nations cannot
exist in the future anymore than any
where else in civilized countries.
The world is learning some dear and
expensive lessons — but nations are
likely to treat each other more like
brothers and as equals where national
rights are concerned.

"The Reformation in Principle

All those who attended the meeting
of the Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday even-
ing, were amply repaid in hearing the
address of Chaplain B. A. Peters, who
graduated from Susquehanna Theo-
logical Seminary last Juiie.
Rev. Peters has given his life in
service to his country, and finds en-
joyment in that beautiful and helpful
service that he renders to his fellow
men in finding their Savior and giving
better service to their country.
All the mail of his company is in
his charge, also the supply rooms. He
must keep an individual record of
each man, so that he can be identified
in case of death. Beside this work
he ha.s a mutli greater work, and that
is looking after the morals of the
camp. He sighted instances where he
had personal talks with many men
of his company, changing their views
of life from tliat of a rough life to a
clean, pure and nobler one, thus help-
ing them to find a comforter and
guidt ; Jesus Christ.
He said that all the men in the
army are not rough, but those that are
should not be looked down upon, but
we should help them and try to makt'
them better men. Christ did not go
to those alone that did not need Him,
but he helped the worst of sinners as
well.
He tried to impi-ess us that it pays
to live a clean and pure life, and to
build character that will stand the
test, no matter whether wo are in
college, in the army or wherever wo
are.
Our country Is calling for men like
Rev. Peters, who are willing to give
their lives, that they may help the men
who are unsaved, to find the Savior be
fore the cord between lite and death
is broken, and they go to their graves
uB«aved.
day School, and it was a delight to
share in the inspiring exeicises and
to witness the zeal and interest of the
people. We preached in the morning
and afternoon, and lectured on Luther
and Susquehanna in the evening.
There v/as much interest in our pic-
tures, and much interest in the cause
of our dear old school. Susquehan-
na has certainly some loyal friends in
the charge. We have some of our best
students from this town and the sur-
rounding country, and others are on
the way to become students in the
future.
A visit to the Milroy high school
Monday morning will never be forgot-
ten. Principal Morgan assembled all
the students for an address, and af-
terward gave us opportunity of meet-
ing members of the senior class in-
terested in college. There is no honor
that .we appreciate so much, nor op-
portunity that we seek so diligently,
as that of speaking to our young
friends in high school and in college.
We lectured Monday evening in our
church at Siglerville, the second
church of Brother Lubold's charge.
We visited Milroy nearly twenty
years ago as we were finishing our
coyrse at Susquehanna. Two Sundays
in succession were spent in the pretty
town, and the people would have made
us pastor then had we not felt that
Northumberland was our place of
work. Pastor Lubold referred to us as
Rip VanWinkle returning after twenty
years to view the scenes of long ago.
We feel not a little like poor old Rip,
with this exception— that whereas his
friends were all gone, ours had mulit-
plied many fold.
Tuesday found us away down in
Y'ork County, with Rev. C. H. Shull,
where we are assisting in a series of
services that will culminate in special
Reformation services October 30 and
31. Pastor Shull is a Susquehanna
man and has a fine charge in Chance-
ford township, about 17 miles from
York. With his tin lizzie we travel-
ed in style. The gracious hospitality
of his home and of his people is a
source of much joy to us.
Our visit to Chanceford is broken
by a trip on Saturday, October 27, to
Clearfield, where we preacb on the
28th, and then back with our Brother
in York County. These notes leave
our hands in Clearfield late Satuday
evening.
One of the features of our work has
been' a brief stay at time with brethern
on acount of series meetings. In this
way w^e have gotten very close to many
people and lined them up as perman-
ent friends and supporters of Susque-
hanna. It has been our constant effort
to develop a mailing list or real value,
and we feel confldcDt that this is being
done.
Susquehanna is interpreted to the
people through her altlmni and her
representatives. Every man or woman
who bears our name should ever re-
member that fact. Every word spok-
en, every act committed, even the un-
conscious influence of personality,
makes either for or against the school.

AS A REMINDER
" Some of the colleges have been
boasting of the strength of their
eleven this fall. Two or three have
taken great pride in the fact that
many of their stars are back. This
may be proper, but it is nothing to
boast of, and especially at a time when
many of the colleges have sent every
regular to the firing line. Varsity foot-
ball should be played just the same
this year as in former years, but there
will hardly be any championships and
it is well to understand In advance
that no great credit can be attribut-
ed to any winning eleven, when the
victors are opposed to a team who have
lost all or most of their 1916 stars by
sending them to the front.

LUTHER THE REFORMER A
FACTOR IN MODERN AFFAIRS
Sixteenth Century Monk Still Exerts i Great
Influence on Public Affairs — Father of
Democracy and Advanced Education
DiGison mm
mm iFORiLS"
Four hundred years have elapsed
since the Reformation. But its re-
sults are apparent in our life today.
Blessing of divine importance are
en.ioyed by twentieth century civiliza-
tion which are the logical outcome of
the deeds wrought and the principles
championed by the leader of that
great movement — Doctor Martin Luth-
er. Tliough he received harsh criti-
cism, though his worlt was done
against unequal odds, though he was
despised by many, he is heralded to-
courage, of undoubted love for man-
courage, of undaunted love for man-
kind, and of unflinching devotion to,
the cause of true Christianity. We,
the generation of the enlightened
twentieth century, are indebted to the
courage, devotion, and intellect to this
mighty man for blessings without
which our individual lives would b?
wretched and miserable.
But before we consider the effects
of Luther's work on our lives today,
let us briefly discuss why the Re-
lormation was necessary. The church
and State was in awful state of de-
generacy. The light of the Gospel had
almost gone out. IWigion had be-
come a mockery, a mere formality, a
blind submission to the church. Rome

world. This doctrine had been placed
in utter darkness by the rule of Rome,
and it was Luther who broufeht it
forth, and it has ever since been a
livina force in the lives of men; truly
a doctrine of divine importance upon
the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. It
is everywhere declared by Lutheran
symbols, "that wc cannot obtain for-
giveness of sins and righteousness
before God thru our own strength,
merits and works; but we are pardon-
ed an4 Justified gratuitously for
Christ's sake thru faith."
Another cardinal doctrine of Luth
er's was an open Bible, man's only
guide to heaven. Luther accepted
the command of Christ: "Search ye
the Scriptures." In Pre-Reformation
times l-he Bible was a closed book to
nearly all mankind. It was written in
a tongue that could not be understood
by the people, and of course they
were ignorant of its contents. Luth-
er knew that as long as the Word of
(rod was hidden in a strange language
the people would walk in darkness.
But the great work of this monk in
translating the Bible, and in securing
its distribution and in expounding it
in the light of God has brought forth
fruit. The Bible was literally uii-
The "Informals" lost one more game
last Saturday when they were defeat-
ed by Dickinson Seminary at Williams-
port. Considerable Improvement was
shown in the team but they were un-
able to overcome the onslauglit of the
Seminary team.
The first quarter opened with Dick
inson kicking off. Janson received and
the ball was advanced several yorda
by plunges. Wc then lost the ball on
downs on the twenty yard line. The
Seminary then advanced about twenty
yards and tried a forward pass which
was intercepted JUy Pasket who carried
it nearly the whole lenqlh of the field
but was downed about two yards from
the goal. Janson then carried the ball
across. Pasket failed at goal.
The Seminary then received and
made several large passes. The ball
was worked up the field but was losi
on downs near the goal line. The
playing was nwirred by scrapping be-
tween the teams. The quarter closed
Clionian Literary Society celebrat-
ed their annual Hallowe'en festivities-'
on Wednesday. This affair, informal
as it may be, is a time looked forward

by general consent has been conceded
that dtspiio tlie cold weather and
other odds, Clio was at its height in
social affairs.
The party was held near Dogtown
on the farm now tilled by Mr, Walters.

They were unlettered, and many of
them never read the Bible. The
Popes were profane and wicked. The
priests had become so indolent, un-
chaste and ignorant that they were
regarded with contepipt by the peo-
ple. There was no soundness in re-
ligion, nor any freedom and popular
' education for the people. The hour
of God's judgment had struck. A re-
\» formation was necessary, and God
had the man ready to carry it forward.
The one great doctrine espoused by
Luther and the one great principle
that means so much to the Christian
man of today is Justification by Faith.
Man can no longer buy his salvation;
he cannot receive forgiveness of sin by
good works as was supposed before
, the Reformation. We are saved by
the operation of God, not by the co-
operation of man; by God's mercy and
love, not by man's works. We are
to be paid for our good works. They
are tokens for mercies received
They flow from the fountain of our
love for God; they are the fruits of our
love for Him. This great truth brush-
es aside the whole jungle of good
works monks and nuns, and the count-
less host of saints, and their pomp and
glory, and we see no man but Jesus
of Nazareth. Man's salvation is thru
the Attonement of Christ. He suffer-
ed and died for the sins of a lost
known to the masses. The consola-
tion that we get from reading and
studying the pure Gospel would never
be experienced. The inspiration that
comes from the example of Christ's
would be lacking. We could never
have that divine book taught around
the firesides of our homes, or ex-
pounded in our churches. Had it not
been for Luther and his Reformation
Christianity for the individual woukl
today be sunk into oblivion and the
blackness of eternal night. So un
measurably great is the blessing thr.t
it is above human understanding to
comprehend it. To us the open Bible
is eternal life.
Thru the workings of the above
doctrines Luther won victory over the
Papacy. And this victoiy was the
first dawn of modern freedom. When
Luther stood before the Diet of Worms
the liberties ol the whole were in the
balance. When he was tried liberty
was tried. Whe he won liberty was
victorious. When liefore God and all
the dignitaries of Europe he declared
that unless convinced by scriptures
or other valid reasons he would not
recant, then modern liberty was born
Now let us briefly discuss the differ-
ent phases of fvcdom that wo enjoy
as a result of this work. To him we
hanna.
At the opening of ihe second quar-
ter Leslie made a laige end run and
carried the ball up thf. field but on the
next down the- ball was lost by a fum-
ble. The Seminary again worked sev-
eral forward passes but were unable
to score and the half closed with the
score G-0 for Susquehanna.
Second half opened with Seminary
receiving. They were then held for
downs. Susquehanna fumbled but re-
covered the ball and gained forty
yards on a forward pass. Seminary
hen blocked a kick and scored a touch-
down. The try at goal was successful.
Susquehanna then received and by end
runs and line plunges advanced the
ball forty yards when they were held
for downs. Pendergast secured the
ball on a fake pass and \^ent for about
twenty-five yards. The ball was then
advanced to the fifteen yard line
where it was lost on a fumble.
During the fourth quarter nothing
but open football was played. Semin-
ary tried many forward passes but all
were intercepted. Neither side was
able to score.
The game as a whole was very
dean and the treatment given the
team was of the best. Tho we lost yet
it is felt that the team is developing
fast and much material is being pre-
pared for next season.
The line-up:
to make things real inviting and
autumnal. At about 7:30 the hikers
coupled up as well as possible left
Seibert Hall under the able chaperon-
age of Professor Brungart. Reaching
their destination, after a little social
chatting games were started find the
merry making ceased not from then
till tho party broke up. All thru the
evening games of all kinds were play-
ed in which all took pait with a vigor
only Jack Frost can put into a per-
son. But not only had the decorating
complete success. It was in the form
of a masquerade party and tlie mem-
bers and friends of the society p.sscm-
bled for an evening of real fun. Cos-
tames of all manner find description
were to be seen. Dwarfs and giants,
frogs and snakes, babies and old
women, knights and ladies, ghosts
and devils, and many other freakish
bi'ings beyond description or enumtra-
tion paraded around thru the room
dimly lighted by Jacko-lanterns.
Promptly at nine o'clock all un-
masked and the program began. This
was in charge of Mr. Selin D. Ulrich.
Professor Meyei rendered a very de-
lightful piano solo, Mrs. IIoyt-Aire

companied by Prof(>ssor Meyer and

Then to cap the climax some real

.\ writer in the Scientific America
recalls an experiment once made ai
Amherf-t College, in which a younA
F.Qiia.sh was placed under a steel hni-
ness and in a wooden cradle, in such
a way that its expensive force, as it
gn \v, was exerted against a lever or.
which weights were carried. After
two months, mediani'^il energy of
over two ton.i was registered, and,
when the harness burst under the
strain a week late, a w^eight of two
and a half tons was raised and coulJ
have been carried if tlu' squa.sh had
been propeiiy supported.
with a piano for her skill. In the
whistling contest Papenfus was the
winner and received a checkin- board
as a reward.
This ended the progiara and after
all were sealed the refreshment com-
mittee served a very appetizing
lunch. Pretzels and cider, doughnuts
and apples, pumpkin pies and pickles.
All were greatly enjoyed.
After the appetites were satisfied
the party took a hike to Book's Bank
and returned about midnight tired but
happy. It is the general opinion that
the 1917 reception is the best in the
history of Philo.

THE REFORMATION
in Principle and Action
Rev. Sanford N. Carpenter, D.D.
Former Instructor Carthage Col.
"The Reformation in Principle
and Action is different from the
common run ot book.s on the sub-
ject of the Reformation. . . This
is an up-to-date history of the
Reformation. Its modernity ap-
pears time and again notaljly
in the references tg the present
world war. . . But its modernity
is not the only feature which
makes this book different. The
word Reformation in the title
comprehends the entire Protest-
ant Reformation. . . The reader
may not tarry long with any
one person or at any one place,
but before he leaves one eountry
and Rtens over into another, he
has bad a close and clear sur-
vev of the religions nolitical and
soeial life of the eountrv he lust
left." -Lutheran Church Visitor.

Owing to illness, Rev. Sassaman was
unable to appear and Dr. Acherman, of
Sunbury, Avas called on to make the
address. He used as his text part of
I Cor. 12:32, 33, "... which were
men that had understanding of the
times, to know what Israel ought to
do; .... they were not of double
heart." He declared that selflshnt>ss
was the cause of the war and of much
of the misery of this world. We are
not v.illing to sacrifice unselfishly for
others. He quoted for an example
that some time ago tlie church asked
for five dollars from each christian for
the cause of mis.sions. The millions
thus raised would convert the world to
Christ in less than a generation. But
the ansv/er of the people was in the
negativr. They prefered to spend
their money for pleasure and selfish
interests tnan to devote the money
which God had intrusted to them to
the furtherance of His kingdom thrn
all nations. Students owe it to the
vvorld to prepare themselves for their
life's work and to unselfishly forego
many pleasures in outer that (hey
I
may do this. — -

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
There was a fair attendance at the
Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday night.
In experiments conducted in the
University of Wisconsin it was found
that an extremely thin electro-deposit
of zinc or iron, exposed during four
months of wet weaihrr, alforded pro
tection against rust, while much thick-
er deposits of copper, brass and
nickel, rusted badly. As zinc coat-
ingK were found to be as porous and
as much pitted as the others it was
concluded that their superiority in pro-
tection against rust resulted from the
absence of voltaic action.

BOYS REPORT EVERYONE IN
GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRITS-
INTERESTING CAMP STORIES
We were glad to welcome back to
Susquehanna those members of the
Ambulance who were here on furlough
over Sunday. They had some very
interesting stories of camp life to tell.
At the present time they are not in
the regular camp on the Allentown
Fair Grounds but because of the
crowded condition of the camp and the
lack of heat havf. been out on a hike
and have camped in the clay pits at
Guth Station. This is a barren sort of
country and the boys are getting ac-
customed to life similar to the trench
life "over there."
For the first few days they slept In
the dog tents while the dugouts were
being prepared. Those have now been
finished and occupied so that they are
more comfortable than before. The
camp is on a hillside and the dugouts
are burrowed back into the bank
When a fair sized space has been ex-
cavated a hole is put thru the roof
for ventilation and this Is covere<^
with brush to render it less conspi
cuous. At the top of the hill ditchc;
have been dug to carry the watei
away. Straw mats and fires are in thr
dugouts so that they are very com
fortable.
Nearly every day mimic wars are
staged and a few wounded, then the
Ambulances come up and the "wound
ed are taken to the hospital, some to
the base and some to the other hos-
pitals. The training they receive in
this way is exactly what will be their
duties in actual warfare and the sol-
diers are getting very expert in these
tactics.
All report that they are enjoying the
life and are happy to be in the service.
The boys are all looking well and en-
joying good health.
Our best wishes and prayer go with
them as they return.
A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY
Did it ever occur to you that a man's
life is full of crosses and temptations?
He comes into the world without his
consent and goes out against his will
and the trip between is exceedingly
rocky.
When he is little the big girls hug
him; and when he is big the little
girls kiss him. If he Is poor he is a
bad manager; if he is rich he is dis
honest. If he is in politics it is for
graft; if he is out of politics you can't
find a place for him and he is no good
for the country. If he is actively re-
ligious, he is a hypocritic; if he takes
no interest in religion he is a hardened
sinner. If he doesn't gove to charity
he is a stingy cuss ; if he does It is for
Bhow. If he dies young, there is ft
great future for him; if he lives to be
«n old man, he missed his calling.
If you save money you're a grouch;
If you speisd it you're a loafer. If you
get it you're a grafter; if you don't
you're a bum.

JUDGE JOHNSON SPOKE
AT 1 1 C. II.
WELL KNOWN JURIST GIVES
MOST INTERESTING TALK TO
BOYS ON PATRIOTISM
Pmtronixe Susquehanna adT«riUitni.
Judge Johnson addressed one of the
largest Y. M. C. A. meetings of the
year last Tuesday evening in the Y.
M. C. A. rooms. All available seat-
ing room was occupied in one of the
best meetings in the history of the lo-
cal organization. The devotional ex-
ercises wore conducted by Allbeck,
v/ith Dr. Schnure and Rev. Stephens,
of the Presbyterian Ministers Insur-
ance Company, offering prayers. Judge
Johson addressed the meeting on the
subject of Liberty. He stated that
there were three great crises of the
struggle lor liberty in this country
and that the present was the third of
'.hese and was the greatest epoch
since the beginning of the Christian
ora. The struggle for liberty was be-
p;un when the colonies felt the iron
'land of British tyranny and took up
irms to defend their rights. In these
colonies were found men from Ireland
vho fled here because of religiouF
persecutions in their home land. And
ilso those sturdy pioneers from the
north of Ireland called the Scotch-
Irish braved the wilderness. Puritans
Iriven out-ef England by the Cavalier;^
^nd British nobililv fleeing from the
Protectorate peopled these colonies
'ogether with French Hugenots and
phlegmatic emigrants from South Ger
many. These were the people who
lought to support the Declaration of
Independence and maintain their pol-
itical and religious liberty. But be-
side this hard earned liberty grew an
opposite and inhumane institution,
slaverj'. The second great struggle,
the Civil War, determined that liberty
and not slavery should prevail for all
men. Peace and apparent safety fol-
lowed until the third great struggle for
liberty broke out. If America had
been fully prepared no nation would
have dared to begin such a collosal
struggle against liberty. Yet we are
fortunate to live now and be able to
help in this world struggle. Our
liberty is menaced by barbaric Prus-
sianism which must be overthrown.
The judge stated that he had two sons
in the service and two more who will
enlist when of age but he would pre-
fer that his sons be shot to being cap-
tured and tortured at the hands of
those modern barbarians descended
from the same blood as and combined
with the Turks. It is the Prussians
and not the South Germans from
which the so-called Pennsylvania
Dutch are destended who started and
are waging this awful conflict. There
can be only two kinds of American
citizens now— traitors and patriots
and any person who dares to defend
Prussia in any manner belongs to the
ftrst class. Prussia, a small warlike
state, subdued the surrounding states
and compelled them to pay allegiance
until she formed the German empire
and added Alsase-Loraine. Now she
has practically conquered her allicB.

Lovers of music were given a rare
treat Thursday evening in Seibert
Hall when the faculty of the Conserva-
tory of Music and the Department of
Expression gave the annual Faculty
Recital.
A large audience was present to
greet the performers and by their
hearty applause showed their appre-
ciation of the skill on the entertainers.
Professor Moyei opened the program
with two selections on (ho piano, "If I
were a Bird" by Hcnsclf, and "Etude
Japonaise" by Poldini. Mrs. Ayer then
followed with two very pleasing solo^ ;
"Connais tu le Pays" by Thomas and
'"GaG Fleeting Hour," by Lee. This
-:as followed by a most wonderful
violin solo "Romanze" by Wagner-
Wilhelmy, played by Mrs. Hobart.
Pdofessor Keener, of tlie Department
of Expression was next and he gavo
'several very interesting readings from
noted authors. At times he had the
nudience on the verge of tears and at
She next moment they would be full of
laughter. He was encored several
Mmes and responded with short spicy
repartees.
rrofeasor Meyer cucn rendered "The
Question" and "The Answer" by
Wolstenholme on the Pipe Organ in a
very masterful manner, and was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Aycr who sang "The
Quest" by Smith in her own most de-
lightful manner. Mrs. Hobart closed
the program with "Fantasie Ballet" by
de Beriot and was encored repeatedly.
The recital was an Artists recital in
every sense of the word. The mem-
bers of the faculty are indeed artists
and held the interest of all thruout
the evening. All who were present
were loud in their praises of the per-
formers and those who were absent
missed one of the great treats of the
year.
Susquehanna can justly feel proud of
these her instructors.
(Concluded at foot of next column)
Pacifists, German sympathizers and
all others who object to war only as
it is likely to involve the integrity of
their skins may now honorably put
themselves beyond its reach by join-
ing the ship-building forces of the
United States, to whom conscription
is not to apply.
Continuing law records in destruc-
tion by U-boats mean high records in
destruction of U-boats.
(Continued from preceding column)
luniics. Thus Judge Johnson con-
demned and denounced the evil pur
poses and malignant and inhumane
practices of the Prussian ruled Ger-
mans as whose head was that dia-
bolical liar and Inhuman savage, the
Kaiser. The Judge also recommended
and praised the effort of the Y. M. C.
A. to raise a war fund of thirty-five
million dollars to carry on their work.
President Shoaf announced that a
campaign to raise SusQuehanna's chare
would soon be startad.
PHILO
Philo enjoyed an interesting and
.spirited meeting on the evening of
Friday last. A large crowd was pres-
ent to hear the special girls' program
of the evening. The fair co-eds of
Pliilo rendered a splendid program,
equal to any that the boys could pro-
duce. The essay class was ably filled
by Miss Olive Salem, who showed
careful research and diligent prepara-
tion. Miss Marion Weaver enter-
tained with a delightful declamation
find Miss Charlotte Weaver delivered
a thoughtful and apt original oration.
A piano duet by the Misses Allison
v.as artistically rendered and heartily
appreciated. The select reading was
rendered by Miss Susan Rearick, who
charmed the society by her forceful
ronditicn. The debate was especially
huiTio}-ous on the question Resolved,
That it is better to be the wife of a
Junk Dealer than of a fish peddler.
Misses Violet Moycr and Lulu Fetter-
olf argued staunchly in favor of the
junk dealer but w'cro overwhelmed by
flie witty arguments of Misses Jess
McCool and Dorothy Rearick, who fav-
ored the fish pcddUr. The Philo as
edited by Miss Helen Salem was full of
quiet humor and patriotic sentiment.
Miss Marion Charles, of Middloburg,
was initiated as an active member of
Philo. It in such meetings as these
that keep the spirit of Philo alive and
lie following programs promise to be
equally interesting and worthy of the
audience of all students and faculty.
CLIO
Clio met in regular session Friday
evening, November 9. An interesting
program was rendered.
Mr. C. E. Naugle read an essay en-
titled "The Great Cause," which was
very suggestive and rich in thought.
Miss Persing delighted the Society
with a short, but very humorous ora-
tion.
Miss Sigworth followed with a time-
ly reading.
The debate "Resolved, That College
Proclamations should be dispensed
with was ably supported by Gortner
'21 and Benfcr '21, on the aflinnative,
and by Knorr '21 and Zechnian '21, on
the negative. The judges decided in
favor of the affirmative.
The piano duet by the Misses Stein-
inger and Smith was beautifully ren-
dered.
Mr. Shannon spoke extemporaneous-
ly on the subject Status of American
Football Teams.
Mr. Neidig read the Clio, which was
full of humor and sentiment.
The meeting was well attended and
full of interest thruout. Let us con-
tinue in this manner and strive to
make Clio the greatest success poi
slble.

NOTED MINISTER OF GENERAL
COUNCIL DELIVERS LECTURE
ON CHURCH BUILDING
Subscribe for the Suiquehannna!
Rev. Schnure, Assistant Secretary of
the General Council Lutheran Church
in America visited Susquehanna last
week and gave a very interesting and
instructive lecture on church archt-
ti;c:ure.
He began with a history of the var-
ious architectures from the Greek
down to thru the Roman and Gothic
to the present time. When the Chris-
tian church first began the old heathen
temples were used as places of wor-
ship. When they began to build their
ov.-n edifices naturally they were some-
v.hat similar to the old heathen build-
ings but soon began to change.
The old Greek churches had a large
dome and beneath this was the altar
with the congregation around. In
time the altar became so separate
from the church that the priest had
almost the whole service to perform
and the congregation noihiiig. In the
Romanesque it was different. Here
the cross prevailed and round arches
were common. The people had a large
part in the .services tho this in time
was lout and the priest had the great
part. After this the Gothic came into
prominence with its pointed arches.
These were patterned from the
l)ranches of trees: This was by far
(he most beautiful of the three styles
and most common in European coun-
tries.
In America all these styles are found.
When t; - Puritans of New England
began to uuild churches they made
them very plain without any decora-
tions. They held that anything beau-
tiful should not be allowed in the
churches. This custom is still in some
churches, while in others the reverse
is true. Often (he church is built
in such a way as to detract from the
spirit of worship.
He advocated a form of structure that
would characterize the Lutheran
church. It is largely customary now
to have the Lutheran churche.s built in
the form of a cross with the altar in
(he aps of the cross and tho pulpit in
front with the baptismal fount to the
right or left. This is the proper way
to have these arranged to bring out
their real meaning. The rlioir is also
arranged so (hat it is less apt to de-
tract attention from the minister.
The church should be arranged so
that it will be conducive to worship
and not only for convenience.
The lecture was a very helpful one
and was thoroly enjoyed by all who
were privileged to hoar it.
By adopting Prohibition, New Mex-
ico puts itself in line with its neigh-
bors, Arizona and Colorado. The good
old days of the Wild West, when ev-
erything was run wide open, are par*
of the dim past.
If (hey shoo all German subjects lOi
miles from the coast, would that be an-
other Ilindenburg line?

LUTHER THE DUTIFUL
Luther the Heroic, one is apt to
style the Reformer in view of tho-^e
unforgettable scenes: before the mag-
nificent diet, shocking majesties by
his plain, horn and toothless answers:
before the bonfire, tossing into the
flames a papal bull, giving curse for
curse: best known perhaps, before the
door of the Castle Church, tacking on
a challenge that was to resound thru-
out Christendom. He was a hero, un-
daunted ,a man of daring. But he
was more. Luther was a man of
character. He was prompted to do
whatever heroic were his to perform,
not by a sense of daring, but. by a bet-
ter, deeper, nobler impulse, by a sense
of duty.
Strip from the bald facts of Luther's
life the romance gathered by age, view
his daring acts, not in the brilliant
light of resulting events, but in the
plain light of your old everyday sun, —
and better far, more truthful and more
worthy is the picture, more like the
photograph of the fact. You see not
Luther the Heroic but Luther the
Dutiful.
Luther was busy and tired, perhaps,
when he took up his quill to pen those
theses against indulgence sales. He
had much work — he was professoi',
teacher, preacher, and pastor: he had
much to read, to write, and to think:
he was just then engrossed in the
plans to reform the university. He
thought perhaps, of the work and the
loss of time a dispute with Tetzel
might cost: a great loss with counter-
valing gain. He did not think of his
theses as a chalenge to the Pope, a
defiant daie, an opportunity to win a
great name. He would have preferred
likely not to write them. He wrot«^
them nevertheless, just because he felt
that he had to. Whatever he may or
may not have thot, he did think of his
poor deceived people, his own parish-
ioners, he was their pastor, he mus'
herd and guard them. Duty called.
So he set himself to his task: his soul
burned within him and the thots leap-
ed hot from his heart. The flaming
theses were forged on the anvil of pure
devotion only.
The same sense of duty guided
thruout his life. Posting his theses, he
had thot that the tap of his hammer
would ring as a brazen alarm thruout
Europe and echo in America: he jus*
did his work. The same sense prompt-
ed his bra\e reply at Worms: "I can
not do otherwise:" moved him to burn
the Pope's bull and denounce its au-
thor as Anti-Christ, to return from the
Wartburg to Wittenberg, to reject
Zwingli's proffered hand of broher-
hood. He had choice, he had to do it.
Thus we see Luther the Dutiful. We
see him, not a towering statute of
heroic dimension.s mounted high on a
xnagniflcent base, majestic but ur
away; we see him close at hand, cheer-
ful, kindly, flaring, fagged, in what-
ever mood, always of one mind: to do
his duty. Is'nt this the better view''
It does not down us, depress us, over-
awe us. It rather lifts us, nerves us,
encourages us. Luther'.-, work had no
more sparkle and luster about it than
ours has. If he did it wonderfully
well, he did it because he dared, — yes,
he dared to do his duty.
THE REVIVAL OF THE
POST CARD ALBUM
Surely none of us are too old to re-
member the days of the popularity of
the post card album. How often have
wo perused those books of kaleides-
copic wonders with ravenous enthus-
iasm and delight, seeking with eager
eyes scenes beautiful, comic, and pa-
thetic! How often have we pointed
with pride to the representations of
the haunts of our last vacation and
the vacation before the last and the
vacation before that! How often de-
lighted our guests with our collec-
tions of pictures showing magnificent
structures, the broad avenues, the
palatial homes, the extensive parks
of which our native city boasts. The
post card album was always the
source boolc for memories of friends
in distant parts, of reliable data on
the standing of relatives who have or
have not neglected their fraternal ob-
ligations by exercising this easy
means of communication and informa-
tion as to how "Willie has grown,"
and how many "teeth Baby Ruth has
cut since we sent you her picture."
It has always been a ready and relia-
ble reference book as to the merits of
Atlantic City or of Eagles Mere or of
Lake Minnehonka as a summer resort.
But the post card album soon went
the way of all American fads. It was
consigned to a disgraceful end; sunk-
en in oblivioo as a result of the in-
sane American desire for something
new; given to the baby to play with;
scenes of city, country, seaside and
mountain scattered to the four winds.
Swift and terrible was the fate of the
erstwhile popular panorama of scenic
beauty; summarily removed from the
place of honor on the popular table
and remorselessly thrust into some
dark corner of the attic or the cellar
with serene unconcern of its former
dignity.
But all this is now about to be
changed. The post card album will
soon "come back." With the rise in
postal rates the flood of post cards
will be diminished and soon they will
become a rarity, highly prized and
worthy of preservation. Once more
our friends will regale themselves
with the contemplation of delectable
sunsets on pleasant hills and verdant
valleys; once more will our diflScult
guests be sufiiciently entertained and
the rapturous admiration of picture
post cards will fill many an embarras-
sing pause in the pointless conversa-
tion. Villegevllle and Heckertown will
again find their places on the' map
with their "views of Main Street"
consisting of a row of trees border-
ing what might be termed a mud road,
and with the shadow of a suspicion of
a house party visible thru the foliage.
Thus the sable clouds of Increased
postage still have their argent lining.

SECRET OF FAILURE
I'm going to set the river on fire —
t omorrow.
I've made up my mind to turn over
a new leaf and get busy and DO
things — tomorrow.
I've fooled around all day, and yes
terday, too, and the day before, but
things are going to hum— tomorrow.
I've had an idea for some time that
This or That would be a crackin' good
scheme, and I'm going to try it out-
tomorrow.
I need a better and more attractive
display for the goods in my store-
and I am going to take that question
up in earnest— tomorrow.
I've felt for a long time that this
store needed brightening up— needed
glngerin,— and I'm going at it for all
It's worth— tomorrow.
I've been losing business or else
standing still for I'll be darned if 1
know how long— but you watch ray
smoke — tomorrow.
I've been setting a lazy, no-account
example around this store; I act like
a hook-worm, and talk like a clam; I
I've got ft face on me like a affidavit
I've got a face on me like an affidovit
and every clerk In the place looks like
his b¥Bt friend was dead, but you
watch us spruce up and be stappy—
tomorrow.
YOUR CLASS MEETING
Did you attend your first class
meeting this year?
You probably did. It seems to be
the popular thing to do during the
first week of school. Gould and should
it not be the popular thing to do during
the whole year? Class meetings are
called to give every student a chance
to have a voice in the affairs of his or
her class. The president is elected
to lead and call these meetings and
take any other responsibility which
the class votes to give him. But there
seems to be an unwritten low in each
class that the^ president can do all the
work of the class voters and take all
the responsibility that he cares to or
is able to carry.
There are fournjistinct reasons why
every student should attend his class
n.eetings:
pii-st- Ecvery student should be able
to speak in public and a class meeting
is a good place to begin. Later on
you will be very glad to have had this
chance to get rid of the cold feet busi-
ness.
Second— People are always, very
ready to talk about taxation without
representation. One of the best ways
to prevent such taxation is to come to
class meetings and vote on how your
class money is to be spent.
Third— The class needs the support
of every student, otherwise how can
it be a class? Why let a few repre-
sent you and then kick about the way
things are done?
Fourth— You owe it to your college
ta make your class a strong class and
it can only be strong by every stu-
dent taking his share of the responsi-
bility.
For these reasons it behooves every
student to attend every meeting of his
class up to the time of graduation.

Uon't use big words in promulgating
your estoric cogitations, or a rticulat-
ing your superficial sentimentalities
and amicable, philosopical of psycho-
logical observations. Let your conver-
sational communications possess a
clarified cgonsciseness, a compacted
comprehensibleness, coalescent con-
sistency, and a concatenated cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations of flatu-
lent garrulity, jujue babblement and
asinnine affections. Let your extem-

and varacioue vivacity, without rho-

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro-

IN DEFENSE OF OPPORTUNITY
Is tlie college the land of wasted op-
portunity? Does it teach sloth and
laziness, or self-control, self-analysis, i
and quick action, besides academic and i
technical subjects. Do college stu- 1
dents proflt in sp.^re hours, or is this
time unproductive?
These are the questions which oc-
cur to every fond parent who sends
his son to college and are frequently
recurring during that period in which
tlie young man is away from home.
Sooner or later he finds his answer.
lie is big enough to know that it is
not only that which is obtained from
the book and the classroom whicli
makes a college man a success, but
very largely that indefinable "some-
'hing" in the character which makes
so fine a cliange in the man.
And what is this "something"? It is
a certajn polish on the manners, a cer-
tain poise and self-confidence, a habit
of careful survey of a matter before
plunging into it and beyond all an en-
thusiasm for work and a determination
for success. The curriculum of a col-
lege cannot produce this effect, but
the associations and undergraduate ac-
tivities can and do. If a man does
not secure this trait it is not the fault
of Opportunity.
Opportunity is ever present around
Susquehanna. She is tremendously
neglected by some, yet made much of
by others. It is the man who has more ]
than a mere nodding acquaintance
with opportunity who will be the sue
cess in this world, and the time to
scrape up, a friendship with tho God-
dess is while one is in the training
period of college life, that character
moulding period that will so vitally af-
fect what you do later on.
If you have ever neglected to gain
whatever training you could out of
managing a team (or trying to), writ-
ing for publication, speaking In public,
learning how to kick a football, or to
order a dinner, you have insulted op-
portunity, you have hurt yourself, and
may the blame be on your head.

IN DEFENSE OF OPPORTUNITY
Is the college the land of wasted op-
portunity? Does it teach sloth and
lazines.s, or self-control, self-analysis,
and quick action, besides academic and
technical subjects. Do college stu-
dents profit in spare hours, or is this
time unproductive?
These are the questions which oc-
cur to every fond parent who sends
his son to college and are frequently
recurring during that period in which
the young man is away from home.
Sooner or later he finds his answer.
He is big enough to know that it is
not only that which is obtained from
the book and the classroom which
makes a college man a success, but
very largely that indefinable "some-
'hing" in the character which makes
■^o fine a change in the man.
And what is this "something"? It is
a certain polJ5-h on tlie manners, a cer-
tain po=se and self-confidence, a habit
of (;;r-.'!ul suivey of a matter before
plimging into it and beyond all an en-
thusiasm for \vork and a determination
for success. The curriculum of a col-
lege cannot produce this effect, but
the associations and undergraduate ac-
tivities can and do. If a man does
not secure this trait it is not the fault
of Opportunity.
Opportunity is ever present around
Susquehanna. She is tremendously
neglected by some, yet made much of
by others. It is the man who has more
than a mere nodding acquaintance
with opportunity who will be the suc-
cess in -this world, and the time to
scrape up, a friendship with tho God-
dess is while one is in the training
period of college life, that character
moulding period that -will bo vitally af-
fect what you do later on. ""^
If you have ever neglected to gain
whatever training you could out of
managing a team (or trying to), writ-
ing for publication, speaking in public,
learning how to kick a football, or to
order a dinner, you have insulted op-
portunity, you have hurt yourself, and
may the blame be on your head.

Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A. CAMPAIGN
FOR WAR FUND WEDNESDAY
Susquehanna lias much to loso and, 1 he athletic authorities roar,oned and
leasonod wisolv, that if thiri game of
nothing to gain when the present
gridiron season opened. Y\''ith a team :
l)rain;; and brawn had fitted these
I men, who had been i-o
(0 volun-
that compared favorably with the | ^,,^^j. ^^^, „.^,io„ai service, to nlunse
best elevens of the secondary institn- l jj^p jj^e and swing the ends of the
tions of th'-- Ees-t, the Oran,r;e and
Maroon had last year won a reputa-
tion that n5:e:ht well be coveted by
even lar,'-;!r insritutions of learning.
If reputation alone should have been
considered the pohtic move for Sus-
quehanna to pursue at the opening of
this scholastic year would have been
to discontinue football as a college
sqort until Ihe prefent world war had
closed, when those stalwart youths,
who wore the Orange and Maroon in
last year's footlndl clashes hut who
are now reprrronting the tri-color —
the red, v.'hite and blue— in the var-
ious army camps of oiu' nation, might
again return to us and offer their en-
ergy and foot' mil ability to uphold the
reputation Su5fiu:>hanna had just be-
gan to make for herself in the world
of intercollegiate football.
But tliose in authority realized that
successful football means more than
the winning of victories. Football, as
a real athletic sport, io not so much
the wianir.;T of victories, as it is the
development of men who arc? ever
ready to play the game as if they
were winning.
The opening of the present football
season found Stisquehanna with no
veteran men from last year's team
which rMf':!it ci rve a;; a Jiucleus for
the formation of a iv-x: team. In fact,
no letter men frora the 1916 team had
returned to play, and but two of the
gritty little r. .- rvi' elrvrn of last
year reported for practice when the
coaches called for volunteers. With
but two or three e-ef ntiona the entire

enemy in Europe, it was prop.T and
right that the boys at Sus'.iuebanna
should continue to receive the br'nefits
to ijo derived from t!ie gridiron Vi-urh.
And so with entirely inexperienced 1^,.,^;^^^ ^y President Aikens
material, v^ith little hope of winning '
victories, and with the realization that
the reputation, she had I)Ut begun to
gain might be lost to view in this
year's vv'ork, Susquehanna determined
to continue football this year. Tlio
she has won no special laurels on her
various fields of contest, yet as the
season comes to a close the student
body repose confident in the thought
that they have done their duty. They
know th.at those who soon may b^-
called from our midst to battle on
more gory fields, will go better pre-
pared and bett(-r trained to serve
their country, and more able to take
care of themsflv<^s.
Tho Susqtu'hanna has contested at
times with teams that might be con-
sidered below her in athletic standing,
yet we Ijelieve none of her alumni and
undergraduates considers that she
has belittled herself by so doing. For
not only has she given her student
body the opportunity for the develop-
ni.mt V, hich is bound to accrue from
engaging in this vigorous sport, but
she has at the snu'.e time kept alive
in the minds of i^i- students and
friends tliat athletic spirit which will
make it easier for the development of
a winnifig winning team when the
shadow of war's dark cloud has pas-
sed over otir land.

THE JOLLY LIFE
What is tlie jolly life? In all the
Koodness of a God of love, mortal man
has been placed in this garden spot of
creation, the world. Even from the
very first his has been a goodly herit-
age. As lie lifted up his eyes and
looked to yonder forested mountain
range, standing aloof in all the ma-
jectic natural beauty of a king of ages
he saw thertin tlie liandiwork of a
master. The green topped area
stretched away into that great some-
•wher(> and lost itself to view. The
dashing mountain stream sprang wild-
ly over its rocky bed sprinkling sil-
very spray upon the ff-alhered fern
that gently dipped its velvety edge in-
to the freshness of the water. Cliffs
stood out in bold relief revealing the
secret that within the bowels of earth
lay deposits of mineral, rich enough
In their substance to serve an age of
man. All these were his.
The eye turned and a fertile valley
revealing itself in fruitful abundance,
fell upon the screen. Level lowlands
broadening away into limited area
presented a beautiful contrast. Whis-
pering pines and munnuring hemlocks
gave way lo fields of bending grasses.
Wild and roaring streamlets united in-
to a calm and peaceful river winding
quietly in its cour.^e to the great
waters beyond. Boulders were l)ut as
dust and knew no place in this val-
ley which respected nature's calling.
Here the song bird sang its matin in
joyful glee. Heic the lion, stalking,
seized his bunted prey and from
thence carried it to his mountain liome
that he might satisfy his ravenous
appetite unmolested. This was Hie
natural order of tbiiifis.
Today, hesitating in tlie iuisy whir
of a modern life, what a pitiable
.sight looms up before us as we see
our dreams wrecked on the shores of
the real and they lie asleep, yes, dead
in the giave. The iiiountiiin sides
have b<'en stripped of their virgin
forests. .Mines have penetrated the
rocky mass and liave drained Hie
precious ore. The streams alone re-
main, but not in their former beauty.
Their roar is one of revenge, and in
their madness they dash into the val-
ley carying cruel destruction to a
civilized rac(^ of people. The grasses
are nipped to the v(>iy roots and the
land cropp( d lo its doom. I'lived
highways lead to noisy blustering
cities where lust and vile corruption
abound, but no road leads honie! All
in system! The world has been or-
ganized to its own desti'uction, be-
••ause man Iihk not known how good it
Is to live, liut has approjiriated the
goodness of (iod's boiini.v lo a greedy
and selfish purpose.
There is a life that is constructive.
If the chief end of creation is mutual
happiness, and if man would attain
that goal which God has placed be-
fore him, he must have thought for
tliose agencies of civilization which
conserve the pa.^t, prt^serve the pres-
ent and make possible a progressive
future. The home, .school, vocation,
state and church justly claim attention
that will eventually draw out the
marks of a man.
In the homo there should lie obed-
ience. To obey is better than aacri-
Oee. This fundamental virtue is the|.....
contribution of the home to society j J*
and civilization. The underlying idca|s
of the school is development. Dcvel- |g
opment of the body as the fit medium IB
I WM
of expression for the mind; develope-
ment of the mind as tlie fit governor of
the body. In the business world, in
which each man follows his vocation
and justifies his existence by the
sweat of hi.s brow, there is no inter-
dependence of the sons of earth. The
Vvorld of one's vocation emphasizes
the unity, the solidarity and interde-
pendence of man and man. Justice
is the fonudation of the structure of
human society, and the state shoidd
be the impartial judge, rewarding
every man according to his deed. In
the church man comes into his wid-
est consciousness through relation-
to God. There should be righteous-
ness, the doing of the will of the Su- ^
preme Being upon the earth, the j
transformation of the kingdoms of'
earth into the kingdom of heaven, th(^
addition of love and mercy to law and
justice. Complete resignation to these
agencies bfidge the chasm between ■
the human and the Divine and make ,
broad the field of action. !
Service!!! Service!! Service to
God and our fellovs'men. This is love! |
This is peace( This is joy! T^his is j
the jolly life! And if at the setting of I
the sun of life's great day, when twi-
light is ushered in and darkness I
spreads its veil o'er earthly cares and
the clarion bugle calls to blessed
eternity, life's blood spells out in i
blazoned letters, "In as much as ve i
i
did it unto the least of these, ye did |
it unto nie" and if the eternal finger
of God writt>s "enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord" truly you have lived the
jolly life.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The Y. M. (!. A. meeting last weelc
was well attended to liear Rev. J. A.
Richter, of Milton, siiis and speal:
The exercises were in charge of Pas-
tian including an invocation by Presi-
dent Aikens. Ibn-. Richter delif;htful-
I
ly rendered an inspiring and devo-
tional song entitled "Teache Me To
Proy." In hi.s introduction Rev.
Richter stated that le.s.s than twenty
years a,t,^o ho was a student at Sus-
quelianna I'niver.sity. As a boy his
parents were unable to send him to
school even I ho he felt that he sliould
bt' a minister and it wasn't until lie
was married, had .several children and
had made some money in busines.s.
While he was in the seminary his
eldest son att'uded prep. lie then
spoke al)out "Christianity and thi-
Awful War." This war is the worst
thing since the creation of the world.
Just as individuals are punished for
their sins while they ai-e still lure on
earth so also are nations punished for
their misdeeds and war is this ine-
vitai)le punishment tor national sin.
There are many fundamental sins
wlii(h caused this war. The first i.s
national jealousy. Each nation es-
pecially in Europe is ever watching
the other lest they get more power
and wealtli than themselves. The
second cause is national avarice.
Russia entered the war for the Dar-
danelles. England wanted Prusnia'.s
comemrcial power. Japan coveted the
Gernian possessions in the east.

ALUMNI NOTES
Ralph Witraer "15, of the Ambulance
Unit at Allentown, was a visitor on
,l^e campus Sunday. He reports that
all the men show the effects of the
rlKid training, plain nourishing: food,
and regularity of haliits which are the
watchwa'i'ds of military life. All have
gained in weight and health and report
a keen enjoyment of the routine of
camp life under the direction of pro-
tection of "Uncle Sam." At present
they are living in clay dugouts on
the side of a mountain a few mile.«
from Allentown — getting a real taste
of trench life, preparatory to entering
into the strenuous and dangerous ac-
tivities of the Ambulance branch of
the "Service over there."
President Charles T. Aikens, D. D.,
'83, reports the attendance at Susque
hanna reduced 50 per cent on account
of the war. The attendance is 210.
Forty percent of the male students en-
listed In the army.
Professor J, Frank Faust '15, in-
structor of Science and Chemistry in
the .Johnstown High School, was re-
cently injured in the arm by a small
piece of flying glass while performinr
an experiment in the laboratory. A
small amount of chemicals explodec'
causing the accident.
S. M. Stauffer '17, is now in the
aviation service and is stationed at
Camp Kelly, San Antoiiio, Texas. He
is doing clerical work in the Post Ex-
change.
Fred Treaster, formerly of Susque-
hanna University and Mr. Wagner,
botli of YeagertoAvn, wei'o Sunday vis-
itors with Warner '20, at the A. S. O.
house.
Miss McCorniick '21, entertained
her friend, Miss Garner, of Hublers-
burg, at S. U. during the early part
of last week.
Wagner was visited by his jian^nts
on Sunday.
LaCrone '21, was visited by his
brother on P"'riday.
Paer '20, preached at Dogtown on
Sunday night.
Drurnm '21, made a business trip to
Williamsport on Saturday.
Schadel '18, was in Harrisburg on
business, Saturday,
Papenfus and Spiegelmire motored
to Turbuttsville Sunday.
COLLEGE NOTES
Hackenberg, Teichart, Farrel, Foulk
and Blair Harman were the "sam-
niies" from the ambulance corps at
Allentown who brightened old S. U.
<'ampus with their smiles and words
of greeting over the week-end.
Mr. Denzil King, of Bucknell, visit-
ed with Gortner '21, over Sunday.
Jesus Yser, of the Business Depart-
ment, returned to his home in Cuba
to take up his former occupation as
sugar chemist.
Y. M. 0. A. NOTES
France wished to regain Alsase-Lo-
raine. And Prussia desired to extend
her empire over Belgium. Even the
United States has not been entirely
free from avarice remembering our
seizure of the Philippines, annexation
Df Texas and dealings with respect
to the Independence of Panama.
Militarism is another cause as the
result of jealousy. Europe was an
armed camp and Europe is shedding
her best blood. But a just Providence
is overruling all this and is meeting
out a just retribution to the sinning
nations. Vengeance is mine, saith
the Lord. Righteousness exalteth a
nation but sin is a reproach to any
people. So the hand of God may be
seen in all this and when the war is
over Liberty and Democracy shall
cover the earth. Then after an awful
sacrifice universal and everlasting
peave will come.
Y. M. C. A.
The Y. M. C. A. will meet this ev-
ening at 7:15. It is the privilege and

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn m the
fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. That cus-
tom we can follow now, even in the midst of the tragedy of a world
shaken by war and immeasurable disaster, in the midst of sorrow and
great peril, because even amidst the darkness that has gathered about
us we can see the greatest blessings God has bestowed upon us, bles-
sings that are better than mere peace of mind and prosperity of en-
terprise.
We have been given the opportunity to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day of our Declaration of Independence,
by taking up arms against tyranny that threatened to master and de-
base men everywhere, and joining with the other free peoples in de-
manding for all the nations of the world what we then demanded and
obtained for ourselves. In this day of the revelation of our duty not
only to defend our own rights as a nation, but to defend also the rights
of free men thruout the world, there has been vouchsafed us in full and
inspiring measure the resolution and spirit of united action. We have
been brought to one mind and purpose. A new vigor of common
council and common action has been revealed in us.. We should
especially thank God that in such circumstances in the midst of the
greatest enterprise the spirits of men have ener entered upon we have
if we but observe a reliable and practical economy abundance with
which to supply needs of those associated with us as well as our own.
New light shines about us. The great duties of a new day awaken
a new and greater national spirit in us. We shall never again be di-
vided or wonder what stuff we are made of.
And while we render thanks for these things, let us pray Almighty
God that in humbleness of spirit we may look always to Him for
guidance; that we may be kept constant in the spirit and purpose of
service; that by His grace our minds may be directed and our hands
strengthened; and that in His good time liberty and security and
peace and the comradship of a common justice may be vouchsafed all
the nations of the earth.

fair was honored by the presence of
John Rote, an cx-mcmber of the class

eight the class assembled and wel-
comed the chaperons, Miss Housen

committee, of which Mary Woodruff
is chairman, and tastily decorated
the room in orange and black and had
control of affairs so that the evening
was a huge success. First on the pro-
gram v,-a.s "Pig" v.'hich was enthusias-

the committee started "Going to

Then the cliairs v ere arranged In a
circle and "The Empty Chair" was
played until breathless the '19 sup-
porters called "Enough." Then to
test the strength of Junior intellect
they experimented in the mystical
realm of mental telepathy. Eastian
was mesmerized and Chris Schoch
was hypnotized v,^hile hard heads like
Shoaf and AUbeck were immune to
any suggestions from . the mental
world. Cut Dorothy Allison received
a suggestion to climb on a chair and
Celia Spcigclmire wrote her name on

meeting was presided over by Presi-

Chas. Drumm, The Spirit of the Sol-

Stcininger, was well composed and
read forcibly. Miss Lee Smith ren-
dered "The Passing of the White

Shannon read Patriotic Visions in
very good style.

FRIDAY EVENING SOCIAL HOUR
AS PLANNED BY PRECEPTRESS
A WELCOME EVENT
Delightful in the extreme was the
verdict concerning the social hour
held in Seibert Hall Friday evening
from six o'clock till society time.
This was a reception planned by the
preceptress, Mrs. Hobart, to provide
a place where the male students might
come and spend a pleasant hour with
the fair sex. Once before this had
been planned but for some reason at
that time tlie fellows did not show
up, but this time the most of them
were present and from after report.^

It was discussed on the affirmative by
Lester Shannon and Russel Stcining

tive.
Auman rendered a beautiful solo en-
titled, "On the Road to Mandalay."
The President then called on Middks-

and in a very able way he spoke of
"the success, future prospects, and
final outcome of the Social Hour."
The Clio Herald was read by Editor
Auman and the editorial deserves

said they exhibited wonderful tech-

pounded the piano while everybody
gathered aroand and sang "Rah, rah,

students," "lieep the Home Fires'
Burning," et cetera ending with "Good
Night LadiLS." And the class of '19
departed to dream of anolher clasr.
affair gone into history.
The music of the evening was furn-
ished by the newly formed college
orchestra, and was well received. It
seemed to put pep into everyone and
ronsequently the grand march, led
by Miss Decker and Mr. Faust was
lull of vigor. 'This prepared every-
one for the still more hilarious games
of Jolly Sailor and Going to Jerusa-
lem. Everyone took part and it was
surely soul-satisfying to see some of
our staid and stately theologs swing-
ing their partners as well as the other
boys' partners at a lively rate.
Even the faculty was represented
and their presence cheered the stu-
dents. They mixed with the crowd
and became one of it.
About seven-thirty the assemblage
dispersed -and made their way to the
Society halls thoroly pleased gnd full
of their praise of the innovation. It
is to he hoped that this may not be
the last but that many more similar
affairs may bo held to take away the
monotony of dorraitory existance.

PHILO
A large crov.'d was present to hear
the program at Philo vvhich met in
postponed scs-jion. The attraction
seemed to be the dtibate altho the
o'.hcr cla:'.-;( s of the program were
much enjoyed also. In the essay class
3.1r. Cassler read a splendid and
eloquent production entitled Oppor-
tunities. Mr. Trcaster well delivcnnl
a clever and humorous declamation
Tollowed by a beau1ir\d, eloqiu^nt ora-
tion the theme of whkh w;is The
.Jolly Life, v.hich was n ad by Mr.
Gtaib. Mr. Swanger, a nevt member
of Philo, ably demonstrated his abil-
ities as well as his possibilities in
rtadiiig tlif current news of the day.
A Very humorous select reading wan

faculty In his editorial and pleased
the audience with mixed humor and
pathos. Prof. Julio Alfaro was elec-
ted and duly initiated as an active
member of Philo. The whole pro-
gram was unusually Interesting and
the well filled hall frequently rang
with the applause for the splendid-
(Concluded at foot of next column) productions of the performers.
The patriotism, generosity, self-
sacrifice and spirit of the student
body v.as most significantly shown
last Wednesday in the Y. M. C. A.
drive to raise Susquehanna's share of
the thirty-five million dollar Y. M. C.
.V war fund. The local committee
had been rather timorous in setting
goal making it $250 and even then
there were indications that this
amount would not be reached. Piut
when the campaign closed the com-
mittee was overjoyed to announce
that $710 had been subscribed, more
than twice the goal.
Classes were suspended at ten
o'clock and the entire student body
assembled in the chapel. The band
filed in and played the tune "Hail,
Hail, the Gang's All Here," and then
sang these verses:
.Hail, Hail! for Uncle Sara,
For the boys v/ho're at the front;
Yes, they're al,ways on the jump.
Hail, Hail for Uncle Sam,
For our Susquehanna boys
They'll get the Kaiser yet.
Who'll get the Kaiser? (Spoken)
Why the Susquehanna boys.
They will scalp him, oh the joys!
They'll get the Kaiser yet.
Watch the Susquehanna boys!
Throw in your dollars, boys
For the Y. M. C. A.
Needs the "dough" this very day.
Throw in your dollars, boys!
Help to get the Kaiser's goat.
This did as much good as many pep
speeches and everybody had caught
the spirit. President Aikcns turned
tlie meeting over to the chairman, Dr.
Woodruff who mado a short snappy
speech and introduced Judge John-
son, the speaker of the morning.
The Judge told the story of Liber-
ty's struggle in this country, which
story had been very enthusiastically
received whereever be had related it.
Aft IT the diPffA'cry of America, Im-
i.iJ'-a-anis Ijogan tu-ttling its rough and
wild shores di'ivrn from their native

i.ciUi'in of autocracy. The Puritans
setllfd in New England and the
ravulii-rs came from England to set-
lie "the molh(>r of presidtnts." Na-
tives of Ireland fled to .America until
ihere are more Irishuien in and
ra'ond Boston than in Ireland itself.
Scotch-Irish braved the trTiors of the
American fronteer nnd stolid emi-
grants from South (teiii'nny eanic to
till the soil. From France came
Ilugonots and nobility as the result
of oppression. Thus the co]onl( s
were settled and peace reigned until
the rule of England became too tyran-
ical and in the long drawn out Revolu-
tionary War gained their independ-

was the fn-st great struggle. But
with this lil)«>riy gri-w up an antagon-
izing institution. Slavery and our
country was plunged into the second
great struggle to determine whether
all men should be free or not. Lib-
erty again triumphed, peace reigned
until barbaric Prussianism dared to
menace the liberty of the whole
world. In this third great struggle
we are opposed by an inhumane, am-
bitious, unreli.r.bie and barbarous tribe,
Prussia, who violates treaties, kills
noncombatants and uses any means
to gain tliiir end. Prr.r^sia must be
d(>r(>ated. It is the patriotic duty of
every individual to support his coun-

algar Admiral Nelscn had a banner
on his flag ship which read "England

THANKSGIVING VACATION
It ha.s been decreed by the honor-
able faculty of our beloved institu-
tion that the student body must fore-
go their accustomed vacation this
time. The reason for this is not ap-
parent to the student body but as
they have nothing to say in the man-
agement of affairs they have nothing
to do but endure. In former years it
has been the custom to allow a vaca-
tion from Wednesday noon till Mon-
day noon so the students have be
come accustomed to this and arrang-
ed their work accordingly.
With the upper classes this has
been a time for them to work up
some of their special work such as
orations, theses, etc. Along with
their regular work it becomes a bur-
den to do these extra requirements
but in these few days vacation they
can do these with no extra strain on
their mental powers. Then again
this conies just a short time before
examination time. If the students
are required to continue their regular
work up to the time of examinations
and then be compelled to do all the
extra work in addition they come to
the exams in an exhausted condition.
Then in return for this what do the
students get, three days added to the
Christmas vacation. All the students
like to go home for Christmas but
two and a half weeks is long enough.
Three weeks seems a very long time
and causes too great a break in the
course of studies. When a person
has bet 11 away from his books for
three weeks the knowledge he had
gained becomes stale and it takes
some time to get back into the work
properly.
The students should have more to
say concerning things regarding them-
selves. This matter was presented
10 the students in such a manner
that only about half of the students
could vote. The other half had to
remain quiet. Then only about half
of the voting portion wished to contin-
ue school.
Still the j)owers that be decree that
it shall be as planned and they must

much. Then victory will be ours and
may our boys come back clean and
pure, under the glorious stars and
stripes, not a star blotted out nor a
stripe erased and our victorious ban-
ner .shall wave over a peaceful land
of the free and home of the brave.
The band further inspired tlie stu-
dents by playing Onward Christian
Soldiers. Mr. Walter Brown then took
charge of the meeting. lie announc-
ed that the goal was $350 and called
for subscriptions which came in such
numbers and of denominations from
$2,5 to $1 that two men were required
to keep count of them. The girls con-
tributed nobly and the boys very gen-
erously so that when the meeting was
closed at the noon hour over $650 had
been pledged. The cheer leader, Mr.
Papenfus called for several yells.
An A-N-N-A for the Y. M. C. A., Ki-

in conclusion and the student body
departed, proud of what Susquehanna
could do. The final figures are: Fac-
ulty, $121.00; Girls, $191.00; Boys,
$398.00; total, $710.00. Rah! Rah!

THE PROBLEM OF
COLLEGE STUDENTS
When the call to national service
arose, spirited young men everywhere
of course wanted to be employed in a
patriotic way, and I suppose there
is scarcely a young man in any col-
lege in the country who has not very
anxiously addressed to himself the
question: "What con 1 do?"
To the extent that the men in col-
lege are physically disqualified, or to
the extent that they are too young
to meet the requirements of the de-
partment, it seems quite clear that in
the present state of the emergency
their major usefulness lies in remain-
ing in the college, going forward with
their academic work. The knowledge
that the students will acquire at col-
lege will equip them for subsequent
usefulness if the emergency lasts until
their call comes.
But we do not w^ant to chill enthus-
iasm. Wt want to preserve enthus-
iasm and cultivate it and use it; but
we do want to be discriminating in
our enthusiasm, and prevent people
getting the notion that they are not
helping the country unless they do C
something different, which very often ^
is not the case at all. The largest ,
usefulness may come from doing the I
same thing. Now, it is not unnatural ;►<
that there should be these ebullitions
of feeling, this desire to change occu-
pation as a badge of changed service
and devotion to ideals. Our colleges
can exercise a steadying influence in
this regard.
We are going to have losses on the
sea; we are going to have losses in
battle; our communities are going to
be subjected to the rigid discipline of
multiplied personal griefs scattered
all through the community, and we
are going to search the cause of those
back to their foundation, and our feel-
ings are going to be torn and our
nerves made raw. There is a place
for physicians of public opinion to ex
ercise a curative impulse. The young
men who are in our colleges, who go
to their homes from our colleges and
make up a very large part of the dir-
ection of public opinion, can exercise
a curative influence by preaching the
doctrine of tolerance, by exemplifying
the fact that it is not necessary for a
nation like the United States, which
is fighting for the vindication of i
great deal, to discolor its purpose by
hatreds cr by the entertainment of any
unworthy emotlcn.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
Baer led the meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. last Wednesday evening. For
some reason only a small audience
was present to hear our field secre-
tary, Rfev. Botsford, speak. The Y. M.
quarter sang a beautiful selection af-
ter which Rev. Botsford spoke. By
way of introduction he stated that he
has been traveling everywhere in his
work and lately to New Kork City
and Washington, D. C. Everywhere
he saw men in uniform. There aie
soldiers in the small towns as well
as in the large cities. The figure of
the soldier is a familiar one in the
Bible. In 2 Tim. 2:3 we read Thou
therefore endure hardness, as a good
soldier of Jesus Christ. Every true
man even in times of peace must be
a soldier and have soldier qualities.
The soldier is the ideal man physical-
ly and mentally and spiritually. Sol-
diers arer equired and are willing to
give their bodies to be sacrificed for
their country. He is willing to suffer
anything for patriotism. So also the
Christian soldier must give his body
to God, which is his reasonable ser-
vif'e. The average man is lazy. He
is contented if he is given enough to
eat and is given some form of enter-
tainment. We must overcome this
and impel! ourselves into the tasks
before us. We must fight appetites
and passions— appetites varying from
candy to alcohol. He stated that his
son Kieth in Camp Upton, Long
Island was assigned the duty of
keeping individual records of men
and he reported an appalling percen-
tage of disease due to immorality.
We must drill, too. Our drill is our
daily devotions which prepares us
for Christian service. Nor must we
fight alone for the Holy Spirit helps
us in the fight. God wants us to be
true soldiers of the cross and to fol-
low His banner staunchly. As the
efficiency of the army depends on the
morale so the Christian army must
have morale. The soldiers must be
consecrated and trained. As Na-
poleon always waited on the top of a
hill with his picked cavalry till four
o'clock to make his final charge and
then swept down the hill with his
legions shouting "Vive I'emperor"
strengthening weak hearts and gain-
ing the victory so Christ is sweeping
on with his legions of Christians

Some night! This was the opinion
expressed by all those who attended
the party in Seibert Ilr.ll last Wednes-
day night. The girls who were re-
maining over Thanksgiving that ev-
ening entertained th'! male members
of the student body vvho v<-ere doing
the same. A very Ciijoyable evenin?
was spent.
During the early part of the even-
ing games and mtiSiC were the fea-
tures. The Victrola furnished the
music and all who wished were grant-
ed the privilege of dancing. For the
others there v/ere many other kinds
of games. At the beginning some
were so very bashful that they v/ero
afraid of each other while others WHue
KO jealous of their pfirtners that they
would not allow any otlier person near
them. But as the evening progressed
these feelings wore off and all joined
together for a rousing good time.
Soon the call came to desist from these
amusements and to ascend to the
parlors and there came the important
pare of the evening at least from the
fellow's point of view.
A large fire v/as blazing on the
hearth vvhieh iigiited up the whole
room. After the blaze died down and
the glowing embers alone remained
marshmellows were toasted and ap-
ples pa;^sed around. More dancing
and games followed and all too quick-
ly the evening passed and it was
with deep regret that it was learned
that it was time to leave.
The fellows all join in extending
their deepest thanks to the girls who
were the instigators of this pleasant
evening. Tt took away much of the
irksomeness of a day of idleness and
enlivened the depres.sed spirits of all.

(Concluded on Fourth Page)
Due to the Kuspension of school on
Thursday for Thanksgiving Day,
many members from both societies
having gone home, it was decided to
hold a joint session, which proved to
be a rousing success. The attend-
ance was not large but enough to
make an enthusiastic meeting.
The meeting v/as called to order
by ex-pr( sident Rine. After installing
the president-elect of Clio, Mis.s
Schadel, the meeting was in charge of
the new president, who made a short
but spicy inaugural addre!;s. Then
followed the regular order of the pro-
gram.
Miss Evelyn Allison, of Philo, read
an essay entitled "The Life and Trial
of Socrates," which was very forcibly
rendered and which showed the spirit
of ancient times. Miss Marion Bot.«-
ford. of Philo, rendered a d'^elama-
I tion entitled "Things That Make a
Soldier Great." It was very ably
given and was characteristic of care-
ful preparation.
The debate "Resolved, That the
Parties to Industrial Disputes should
be compcllod to arbitrate their difH-
cullies." was ably supported on t'j"
affirmative by Milliamson and C. E.
Naugle, on the negative by V. D.
Naugle and Janson. The judtres de-
cided in favor o f the afflrmaMve.
Music "All the World Will Be
Jealous of Me," ;uinK by Aunian. of
Clio, acc(impani>d l)y Allbeck, of
Philo, was very well rendered, and
fully enjoyed by ;•]). The original
oration by Iliiie, of Clio "Christianity
not a Failure," was well rendered
and greatly appreciated by all. The
extempore talks by Papenfus. of Clio,
and Speigelmlre. of Philo. were in-
structive and expository. Herald, by
the editor, Mr. Cole, of Clio, was very
newsy and very pleasingly read. It
contained many spicy jokes, which
were very timely.
Let every student take an active
part in literary work. There are
great opportunities for those who
wish to grasp them.
Roscoe Treasii'r'.s room on second
floor was the seme oC one of S< lins-
grovo Halls big feeds on Tuesday,
Nov. 27. The inmates oft lie East
side of the Dorm have organized
themselves into a prayer-meeting
band and conduct their services once
a week in the different rooms. Hav-
ing ju;-it completed a series of meet-
ings lasting a week, and being almost
Thanksgiving time it was decided that
a feed would be a most appropriate
j thing. Accordingly the necessary
I cats were purchased and a* 8:"0 p.
m the band rxs embled. After a few
I preliminaries the cats were sprer.d out
'upon the tables, and the first parade
'pas the ketle for ho* weeners vpr be-
gun. A.tter all b.nd been sun;)!i''d we
seated ourselves by the tables laden
with sandwiches, crackers, and other
delicious dainties. After some jestin.-j
the second grand march for wenners
was begun and asain as before all
were well supplied. Then followed the
delicious pumpkin pie and ice cream.
When all had eattn to their henrts de-
sire of these dainties the final march
and parade was begun which was
not ended until the wtencrs were all

COLLEGE SLACKERS
Who slights his studies in these
days of effort does not deserve a col
lege education. He is a slacker of
whom it behooves us as a university
to speak. The Federal Government
is caring for the others. It is the duty
of each student to make the host of
his opportunities at all times, but es-
pecially in these days of trial he ought
not to neglect a single means thai
lends to self government. With their
lives others are paying the price for
the peace we now enjoy. By our ap
plication to the tasks before us do we
show our appreciation of the sacrifice.
Or do we rather tend to let things
take their course and wait to see
what the resuk of it all will be? If
80 we had better awake to our better
selves and by our labor in the self im-
posed task of education in some way
show that we are conscious of the
essential needs of the day in which
we live.
The first duties of the university
even in war limes, is to prepare men
for tlip affairs of life, and so far as
most of us are concerned the affairs
of life are to be the essential process
of peace. Highly concerned as we are
for tlie successes of this war, we are
noL unmindful of the fact that the
war is not to be won entirely by th*^
use of the nearest guns— Napoleon
had such al Waterloo — nor is it to be
won merely for the sake of the win-
ning. Anns alone we fear will prove
a broken reed, and such an aim will
be our surest degradation. Why
cannot we as educated men and wom-
en keep these facts in mind?
We cannot justly consider ourselves
slacker? because we are not enlisted
in the nation's fighting army. Altho
in another field we are just as much
in tlio nation's service as ai-e the
khaki clad youths. -But to keep from
becoming slackers we must feel our
duty as college students as import-
ant as do those who are doing
actual fighting.
THE WAR SAVINGS
PLAN SUMMARIZED
The war-savings plan provided for
in the last bond act, of September 21.
1917, has been formulated and an
nounced by the Treasury Department
and goes into operation on Monday,
December 3.
The plan puis it easily in reach of
every American citizen to save money
and at the same time aid the Govern-
ment by supplying it with the sinews
of war. !£
Stamps, v.hich are the Government's |S
certificates of indebtedness, are to belB
sold in two denominations— thrift js
stamps, which cost 25 cents each, and |S
v,-ar-savings stamps, which cost from
$4.12 to ?4.23 each according to the
month in which they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the pur-
chaser is given a thrift card with
spaces for 16 stamps. When 16 thrift
stamps have been purchased and af-
fi.xed the thrift card can be exchanged
for a war-savings stamp by paying
the difference between the $4 the
thrift stamps represent and the cur-
rent value of a war-savings stamp
which in December, 1917, and Jan-
uary 1918, will be $4.12, and thereafter
1 cent for each succeeding month dur-
ing the year 1918.
With the first war-savings stamp ob-
tained by purchase or exchange the
owner is given a war-savings certifi-
cate containing spaces for 20 war-
savings stampsT If the 20 spaces are
filled during December, 1917, or Jan-
uary, 1918, the cost to the purchaser
will be $4.12 for each stamp, or $82.40
for the full certificate, and on the 1st
day of January, 1923, the Government
will redeem the certificate at $100,
giving the holder a net profit of $17.00
for the use of his money.
Although these investments do not
mature until January 1, 1923, provis-
ion is made whereby upon 10 days' i
written notice after January 1, 1918,
such certificates will be redeemed by
postmasters at their cost to the pur-
chasers plus tl cent a month on each
war-savings stamp on the certificate.
The thrift stamps do not boar in-
terest, but the war-savings Ftamps be i
4 per cent, compounded quarterly. The
certificates will be dated January 2,
1918, and mature January 1, 1923.
Under the plan an amount as small
as 25 cents can be invested in a Gov-
ernment security, and as soon as $4
has been thus invested and interest-
bearing certificate of the United States
Government can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can be
obtained from post oflices, banks, or
trust companies, at most railroad sta-
tions, stores, factories, and many other
public places.
Having the entire wealth of the
United States back of them, and being
redeemable at above stated, there is
no danger of any depreciation in value
of the certificates.

C. A. nieeijug last Tuesday night
reading for the Scripture lesson Matt.
12: 22-23. Rev. W. M. Rearick, of
MiiTiinburg, ^»as introduced to tb^
new students and was well received
by th'^ old students as the speaker of
ho evening. An alumnus of Susqu( -
hanna, he stated that he was well
pleased with the splendid work of tht
Y. M. C. A. as reported in "The Su.v
Quehanna." He used as the basis of
his talk the first half of the thirteenth
veise of the tv/elfth chapter of Mat-
'beW: He that is not with me is
against me. Both in the material and
spiritual world there are opposites.
There are characteristics of long an'l
short, big and small, hard and soft,
sweet and bitter, as well as of good
and bad, kind and unkind, happy an^
sad. Jesus Christ is the embodimen':
of all that is gobd. Nothing but the
"40od and beautiful can be thought ci
in conection with Him. He is th'
standard of individual life and who
ever is not with Him is against Ilim.
There can be no middle groimd. Man
voluntarily or unconsciously decides
to bo with Him or against Him but
he i.s one or the other. Rev. Rearick
displayed a chart on which he had
printed The Relation of Life to Re-
ligion. On the positive side were the
receptive class whose chief charac-
teristic is observance. They are the
people who are in the church for what
they can get out of it. This is the
largest class of those who are for
Christ and are designated as 1. The
second class of those who are for
Christ is the productive class which
is comprised of those who work when
something is started and whose chief
characteristic is propagation and are
designated as 2. The third Is the
creative class consisting of those who
are most interoijted and are originat-
ing things. Their characteristic is re-
demption and sign 3. On the nega
tlve side is the defective class char-
acterized by unbelief. They are in-
acti' '.^ and are designated as 1. The
2 class is perversive, typified by
hypocracy and positive opposition
and blasphemy is the characteristic of
the 3 or destructive class. We must
all examine ourselves and classify
our christian natures striving to reach
the highest, the 3 class. Rev. ^Rear-
ick slated that ho had received many
of his ideas from "Self Measurement"
by Wm. Dewitt Hyde. Much inspira
tion was received from this Christian
talk from our honored alumnus and
we are only sorry that more of the
fellows did not turn out to greet him.

glad to take advantage of spending

students participated in a bike, v.'hilc
the evening passed all too quickly for
he students entertained at the frat
houses. We also want to Ihank Mr.

BASKEIABLL SCHEDULE
INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL
ABANDONED FOR WAR PERIOD.
FINANCIAL STANDING GOOD
There will be no intercollegiate bas-
ketball at Susquehanna this year,
due to the fact that many of our men
are now in the service. But to take
the place of this, the Athletic Board
are planning to have interclass games,
girls basketball, and social affairs,
which we hope will keep up the old
Susquehanna spirit.
Mr. Wingard reported that the debt
of the Athletic Association in the fall
of 1916 was twelve hundred dollars.
This debt has now been reduced to
about five hundred dollars. We
earnestly desire that the student body
will co-operate with us, and help to
remove this burden.

TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG
That flag presents the most beautiful
combination of national colors that
was ever unfurled since the beginning
of time. That flag has carried more
joy to more humble hearthstones . than
any insignia 'of government that float-
ed in the sunkissed breezes of Heaven.
The red in that flag is redder than
the rising sun, when it bursts above
the eastern horizon with a face of in-
sufferable splendor, redder than the
carnation flower whose colors are
brewed in the workshops of Heaven,
redder than the blush of joy that man-
tles the cheek of the young mother
when she feels for the flrst time her
firstborn's breath. It typefies the
blood that flowed in riverlets down the
slopes of Bunker Hill, and stained the
snows of Valley Forge, the warm-
current that reddened the sod at Get-
tysburg and consecrated the apple
blossoms at Appomotox.
The white in that flag is whiter than
the driven snow, when it falls uncon-
taminated from the matchless hand of
God, whiter than the chilla lily that
blossoms beneath the fostering care
of the loving housewife, whiter than
the sacred veil that envelops the blush-
ing bride, whiter than the silver beam
that shoots from the evening star. It
typefies the purity of the patriotism
that animated American manhood on
a thousand blood-bought fields and a
hundred crimson seas.
The blue in that flag, oh, the blue in
that flag, is bluer than the arched
dome of Heaven, bluer than the mod-
est violet that blossoms in the wood-
ed glen on the sunny side of the old
log. bluer than the mellow radiance
that flashes in a woman's eye. It
typifies the sacrifice of the mother
who laid her stalwart first-born on the
altar of his country and kneeling at
his vacant chair prays to God to com-
fort her aching heart, then seizes the
sword that has fallen from the nerve-
less hand of the dead hero, buckles
it to the waist of hor stripling son
and bids him go forth and conquer or
never return.
"Flag of the free heart's hope and
home,
By Angel hands to valor given;
Tliy stars have lit the welldn dome.
And thy hues weie born in Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet;
Where breathes the foe but falls
before us.
With freedom's soil beneath our feet.
And freedom's banner streaming
o'er lis."
Members and friends of Philo and
Clio greatly enjoyed the joint meeting
in Seibert Hall on F'riday evening. A
good crowd was on hand to hear the
splendid program rendered by some
of the best performers from both so-
cieties. Miss Dorothy Rearick was
the presiding oflacer for the occasion
and ably filled her position, while
Miss Mabel Steffen acted as secretary
in an equally capable manner. The
meeting was called to order by the
president, who appointed Mr. Seel
chaplain for the evening and Miss
Steininger, pianist. On the program
Mr. Middlesworth, substituting Mr.
Ard, addressed the assembled multi-
tude concerning the benefits not only
of a combined session but of society
work in general. He related how it
had been not only his experience but
that of many other theological stu-
dents and graduates that fhey had
reaped large reward from the society
meetings or had missed one of the
largest opportunities the college af-
fords by neglectin.c; literary society.
His address was very practical and
quite lively thruout. Miss McCool de-
lighted the audience with a select
reading from "The Bird's Christmas
Carol." No less on this occasion than
on other programs did Miss McCool
brilliantly display her tactful judg-
ment in the selection and her delight-
ful and entertaining reading of her
contribution to the program of the
evening. Miss Steininger exhibited
her mastery over the piano when she
beautifully played a solo on that in-
strument and as an encore accompan-
ied herself to a humorous song. Mr.
Harkins orated on the world war. He
became quite eloquent and soared in-
to realms of true oratory for which he
was heartily applauded. "Keep the
Home Fires Burning" is a song well
known and liked by all and was
thoroughly appreciated as sung by the
favorite of all student lovers of bari-
tone solos, Mr. Selin D. Ulrich and his
encore was equally well received.
Miss Decker displayed her extraordin-
ary abilities in her reading, "The Lost
Joy," by Olive Schriner. Her per-
formance was a pleasant surprise and
she further won the approbation of
the audience by her encore, "The
Hen," by Evan Vance Cook. Misses
Speigelmire and Smith inspiringly ex-
ecuted a piano duet "The Witches'
Flight" in which they won credit
both for themselves and the conserva-
tory whore thoy are students. Mr.
Allbeek read the paper which he had
edited ar^.nanied "The Zatso." The
editorials, '^fces and poems, , both
those which are original and which
he attributed to the intellects of oth-
ers, were full of spicy, entertaining
humor and his ridicule and enumera-
tion of those whom he termed slack-
ers has since borne some fruit. The
chaplain conducted the closing ex-
ercises. The meeting as a whole was
a big success and those who were
absent missed a rare treat along lit-
erary lines.
Examples of What the World Treats as
Greatness and What is the Real Great-
ness All Should Cultivate
Every heart has its secrets. Every
soul cherishes an idea, a yearning for
something that it dares not breath
even to the most intimate friend
Such desires, such yearnings are held
too sacred to be entrusted to the keep-
ing of others. But being thus jealous-
ly guarded, those imvoiced longings
of the soul become, quite unconscious-
ly, very dear to the life of the indi-
vidual. They are, therefore, often
important factors in the development
of a character.
Among such yearnings is the secret
desire in almost every human heart
to attain to something of greatness.
We are not quite satisfied with pres-
ent glories; we must push on to great-
er heights; we are constantly crying
"Excelsior." Do we always reach
these heights? No. Perhaps we never
attain to the heights we have pictured
for ourselves. But does that dimin-
ish the desire to reach the very pin-
nacle? Not in the least. Our very
failures sometimes goad us on to re-
newed efforts. But still, by many the
far heights of ambition are regarded,
not as something to be attained, but
as a sacred memory — a secret yearn
ing, a desire — fondly cuddled to tht
heart and treasured.
What is greatness then, to be thus
the unvoiced desire of millions? What
is it that can fire youthful hearts tc
dream and to struggle against count
less odds? Is it the passing glory of a
moment?
A small boy was one day playing
in the sand and pebbles along the sea-
shore. Like so many boys, he was
playing war. Pretentious fortifica-
tions were taking shape under his
hand. Soon he had finished his work
of defense and hastened to join his
comrades in an effort to demolish his
fortress. But lo! all their efforts made
no impression upon this fortification
of sand. He had built a fort whicli
they could not demolish and his com-
panions promptly proclaimed him a
hero and a genius. And thus they
bore him home In childish glee. Was
not he great? Had not he accomplish-
ed what none of the others could?
Surely, his greatness was unquestion-
al)lo and deserves more than a compli-
mentary smile. But when the boys
had left the beech the tide arose.
Forces not under the control of any
human hand, attacked the fortification
of the Ijoy and when the tide again
subsided not one visible footstep
or depression sliowed where or by
what means he had attained his great-
ness.
Alexander led his Macedonian horde
over the plains of Persia in order to
become great. As a child he had
shed ti>ars over his fathers conquest.^
liccanse there would be nothing left
for him lo conquer. As soon as pos-
sible lie began his conquests in order
to eclipse his father's name. lie
wanted to be great. Nations and peo-
ple trembled at the very mention of
his name. Opposin.? forces melted
away before his nic.qical phalanx. He
was the conqueror of the civilized
world. lie was accord'd first place
by all men. He succeeded in having
the title "Great" atach^d to his name.
But is that greatness? Where is now
(lie empire of the mighty monarch. It
crumbled and fell, almo.'^t as quickly
as his greatness wlikh came to an
end in a single night. And so it is
with most of the illustrious names of
history. As meteors that flash a-
cross the heavens wlili a dazzling
light, they have sprun.g up, achieved
so-called greatness, and disappeared
forever. Peace be willi their memory,
for even that will soon be erased from
the minds of the living.
Where then .shall v,e look for true
greatness? If satisfied ambition, or
the great names of iu.-;tory are not
representative of bIwiuicss, where
shall we find it? Is IhiH, the desire of
every heart, a vague phantom in pur-
suit of which we spend our lives but
which we never overtake? Is our
quest for greatness dcsiined to end in
dl.sappointments? No. True great-
ness can be achieved by everyone. It
is not an impossible quest. On the
other hand none of u.s find it. It
romes to us, unsoliciled, if we anly
seek for it in places wlieie it can be
found.
Over nineteen hundred years ago,
there was one who pointed out clear-
ly to us what tru<^ Kreatness is. He
was not the leader of huge armies
nor the master of nations. A king
indeed he was, but liiug in the Empire
of Love. His name Vwis i allied Jesus
and his empire the Em rlabting King-
dom. Christ left us a rule for great-
ness and we attain unniness only in
so far as we appl.v il U) our lives.
Christ, in settling a dispute on tliat
very subject said, "lii' among you
who would be greatest, lei him be the
servant of all." Here \v(> have true
greatness defined in a single word-
service. Greatnet-s couks, not to the
I arrogant conqueror of nations, but to
him who loses sight of self in the
service of others.
That was the prineiple which Christ
laid down: that, the poignant fact
which his life brought out. Ho, who
had power in Heaven and Earth, need
never have yielded lo the ignomin-
ious death on the cio- s, lie, whom the
very elements obeyed, could have rais-
ed an empire which would have ful-
filled the fondest hope of every Jew.
Yet he chose rather to give his life in
service — a ransom- in onler that the
generation.s^ of mankind might bo
benefited, might be saved. That was
unselfish service. Triat was truo
greatness. From such a master wo
can well take the admonition, "He

limed, that, at the end of the four

A college must guard its reputa-
tion. A manufacturer safeguards his
reputation by turning out tested pro-
ducts. An automobile that has never
carried a load has never been tested.
In like manner a student that has
never had to assume the responsibil-
ity of choosing for himself, has not
been tested.
The graduates, as they leave col-
lege, ■•re expected to be good boy?:
and girls; even tho they have no other
guide than their own conscience.
Still they were never required to as-
sume this burden at college. Their
paths were marked out for them,
there was nothing to it. Still, they
are turned loose on a defenceless puff
lie. without either wardens of keep-

MUST OR SHOULD
By what shall college students be
governed? Shall it be by a set of
rules that say do and don't, allowed or
forbidden, or by their own sense of
right and wrong properly developed?
The existence of rules presupposes
that college students lack a sense of
fitness of things. It is assumed that
a college student needs rules whereby
to regulate his or her conduct, else
what excuse for their existence? -*
Certain rules are necessary. These
are the rules forbidding that which is
absolutely wrong. What we believe
should be left to the students is the
privijegc of choosing for themselves
what is a happy mdeium in things not
wrong, except in so far as they af-
fect scholarship if abused.
There ar*- individuals in any group
to who restraint is distasteful. They
object to having it practiced on them
either by themselves or others. In
every flock of sheep there are cer-
tain ones that persist in jumping over
the fence. The question is: should
all the sheep be hobbled because a
few individuals, or a few groups of
individuals, refuse to restrain them-
selves? The majority of students are
capable of chosing for themselves
what constitutes a happy medium in
the taking of priviliges. Still the
same rules apply to all on account of
a few.
Students do not object to the spirit
of rules as they exist. What they do
object to is the eternal "must" in
which the ".should" is completely swal-
lowed up and lost, for in the presence
of the "must," the "should" has to
disappear. Where there is compul-
•sion there is no ethical quality. There
is no virtue in observing regulations,
but there is virtue in proper conduct
without regulations.
It is maintained that rules are ne-
cesary for the Fre.shmen in order to
counteract the removal of parental
control. What is to counteract the re-
moval of the "must" and place the
"should" in its place when the stu-
dent leaven college and becomes a
Freshman in real life?
When a graduate seeks employment
he is recommended by the faculty
both as regards scholarship and mor-
als. A student has passed a mental
test but he has never passed a moral
test. If there has been no proba
tiunaiy period during th(! college
course, when a student is placed on
his honor, how can the faculty know
that he ^^^ill live Up to the standards
set by the institution aftw the pro-
fessors have ceased telling him
WHY SHOULD WE ALWAYS
ATTEND CHURCH?
1. It helps ourselves. The church
services give vigor to the best
thoughts and purposes, strengthen
our integrity, develop and solidify
ri.ght character, and feed the moral
and religious part of our nature. We
cannot afford to lose those sweeten-
ing and strengthening influences for
a single week.
2. It helps the minister. Nothing
is more disheartening to a minister
than simple neglect. What sense is
there in preparing a message for those
who do not come to hear it? How
can he preach with vigor to empty
pews? The dulness of any service is
often to be laid to the account of the
absent ones.
3. A church lives on the devotion
of its friends. Nowhere is this dcvo-
or so plainly seen, as in the attend-
tion so fully shown, so quickly felt,
ance on the Lord's Day. Every one in
their place, and the church rejoices
in a consciousness of strength and
vitality and goes forth with ztoI and
power to its appointed work. With
half the seats vacant, there comes de-
pression, and the church sinks into
inaction. The moral tone of any com-
munity depends largely on its church-
es. It church goers become negligent,
the outside community will not go to
church. The example of every neg-
lecter of the Lord's Day worship is
so far an obstruction placed before
the door of the church to keep others
away. If the friends of the church
will attend, strangers will be sure to
do so.— Church Union.

ALUMNI NOTES
Lieut. W. NecLson Koller '16, of
Linden Hall, Pa., is spending a few
(layn at his home after completing his
'work at the officers' training camp at
Fort OgethFope, Ga., where he receiv-
ed his commission as First Litutenant
in the Field Artillery. After a few ,
days at his home and with his friends |
and class mates at Susquehanna he .
will report for duty at Columbia, S. C.
Rev. Jerome- M. Guss, A. M., '91,
pastor of the Muhlenberg Memorial
Lutheran Church on Sunday, Novem-
ber 25th dedicated a new pipe organ
in his church. This is the first pipe
organ to be installed in Logan and is
a very beautiful instrument of the
most modern type. Situated in the
rear gallery it has been especially de-
signed to conform architecturally with
its surroundings and to be played from
the opposite end of the church on a
detached console about fifty feet from
the organ and connected thereto by an
I'lectric cable of hundreds of wires
I'ach one "Controlling a single pipe or
stop at the will of the operator. The
organ was built by the well known
firm of C. S. Haskell Inc. and contains
nine complete speaking stops and be-
tween four and five hundred pipes.
Preparation has been made for the
future additidh of two more speaking
stops. The wind for the organ is sup-
plied by a modern kinetic fan blower
whicTx gives an abundance of steady
wind whether the organ is playing
softly or fortissimo.
The sermon both mornmg and ev-
tming was preached by the Rev. C. P.
Wiles, D.D., and a splendid musical
, program was rendered under the di-
lection of Professor Moyer, the
chorister. Muhlenberg Church has
reason to be proud not only of this
Sunday night.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
President Shonf was leader for the
Y. M. C. A. meeting last Wednesday
evening and introduced to the fellows
Dr. Focht, pastor of the college church.
Dr. Focht spoke on the subject of con-
troll. By v/ay of introduction he
stated that he remembered that 50
years ago he sat in the same room in
a prayer meeting and that he had not
only attended school there but had
taught, been pastor of college church
and president of the University, and
hence probably knows the fathers and
grandfathers of many of the stu-

Men are indifferent to the future
but have wrong ideals on which their
future depends and one of these is
that they do not need control. It is
a prime requisite of a great pitcher
that he have control. He cited as an
example a pitcher whom he knew and
who had marvelous control. In an
exhibition he broke a small pine
board, splitting off a small piece at a
time. But this same pitcher did not
have control of himself and died a
drunken wreck. Men must have ab-
solute control of their physical bodies.
Nervousness is a sign of lack of self
control. The student who sits study-
ing and at the same time drumming
on the table with his fingers or
thumping on the floor w,ith his feet
lacks self control. Appetites must be

With forty per cent, of her student
body in the service, no one can siay
that Susquehanna is not patriotic. But
why does that sixty-foot flag pole
stand on the campus day after day,
without Old Glory fluttering from its '
top? Neglect on the part of the offi-
cials to have a rope put on the pole,
is the only reason that can be given
for not having the stars and stripes
afloat.
Richard Kauffman and wife, accom-
panied by Mrs. Wm. T. Horton, have
gone to San Francisco, Cal. to spend
the winter. Registrar Horton will
join them in January.
It seems a pity that quite frequent-
ly Science Hall is not properly heated.
Under such conditions the professors
cannot hold classes. This is not fair
to the professors or students.

AN ESSAY ON WHAT CONSTI-
TUTES TRUE GREATNESS
(Continued from First Page)
among you who would be greatest, let
him be the servant of all."
But do we always apply this con-
ception of greatness to our lives? As
students, is that the way we look up-
on life? Is that the standard by
which we judge othens?
When a new student comes into our
midst, do we judge his life? his char-
acter, by the principle of service?
When he has been with us for years,
do we always consider him great In
proportion as his life has been given
in unselfish service? I fear not. I
am afraid we sometimes judge a man
by how much of a "Cain-raising" sport
he is. If be slops at nothing we say
he is game and a fine fellow. When
ho has been with us sometime, I fear
we sonu'limes honor and reward him
in proportion as he has been able to
keep himself and his actions constant-
ly before us. We concede to everyone
the perfectly legitimate right to want
to be great, but we sometimes forget
the elements of true greatness In our
appreciation of life. Let us remember
that only, he whose life is Inspired by
ideal unselfish service is truly great.
No better rule for greatness has yet
been given than this, "He among
you who would be greatest, let him
be the servant of all."

IN HONOR OF LOYAL STUDES

LINES AROUND CAMPUS
A most imprcssivo and solemn yet
enthusiastic and loyal service was
held on the porch of Seihort Hall at 1
p.m. December 12, 1!)17. This was the
occasion of the unfurling of the ser-
vice flag recently secured through the
activity of the co-eds in honor of those
of our studcnt.s >\ho have answered
the call of our nation and have gone
out to protect the horn'} and fireside.
The flag has eighty-eight stars in its
field standing for eighty-eight of our
loyal sons who have given up the
plepRiirf R and comforts of home and
school that democracy might live.
Af'er the assembly had gathered
the National Anthem was sung and
prayer offered by Rev. C. R. Botsford,
whose son is in the service. Then
president Aikpns gave a brief eulogy
for the boys at the front after which
Dr. Woodruff, vhose son is in the
service unfurled the flag amid cheers
from the assemblage. The service
was brief but touched the hearts of
all. It brought to all more clearly the
loss we are Buffering in having these
loyal sons away from us. It helped
us to rraliRe more forcibly the strug-
gle in v.hich-Ave are now engaged.
Tho we suffer these things we are
glad that we are privileged to bear
our share of it.
The flng is a beauty and adds a
great improvement to the campus. It
is an exceptionally large flag, being
about 12 by 20 feet nad is the larg-
est in the coun'y.
Many thanks to the girls for it.
Students returning to school at the
beginning of the term had rather a
cold reception. Due to the exception-
ally, cold weather many of the pipes
were frozen as well as considerable
food in the dining room.
Somehow during the vacation the
fire had gotten low and potatoes and
canned goods to the amount of sever-
al hundred dollars were frozen. In ad-
dition to this there was several hun-
dred dollars damage done to tho wat-
er and steam lines around the differ-
ent buildings, so that it v.ill take a
couple of weeks before the breaks are
all repaired.
At the Bond and Key house the
heating plant was badly damaged as
well as the water lines Considerable
damage was caused by the water flood-
ing the house. The water lines in the
A. S. O. house were broken, entailing
a loss of about twenty-five dollars.
At all these places the plumbers
have been at work and the breaks are
being rapidly repaired.

On Thursday evening, December 13,
1917, the Faculty of Susquehanna Uni-
versity tendered a reception to Dr.
and Mrs. J. I. Woodruff in recognition
of Dr. Woodruff's twenty-five years of
service as an instructor in the Uni-
versity.
Dr. Woodruff graduated from Mis-
sionary Institute in 1888 and from
Bueknell University in 1890. From
1890 to 1881 he Avas principal of an
Academy at Rising Sun, Md.; from
1891 to 1892 he was principal of the
Mifllintown Academy and in the fall of
1892 he was elected professor of
Latin and English in Missionary In-
stitute, now Susquehanna University
and has given twenty-five years of
successful and acceptable service to
the institution. -
After the refreshments prepared by
Registrar Horton and his faithful
aids had been enjoyed, all repaired to
the parlors of Seibert Hall, where con-
gratulatory addresses were given by
President Alkens, Dr. J. R. Dimm and
Dr. John B. Forht, two ex-presidents
of Susquehanna, Burgess R. L, Schroy-
er, a classmate of Dr. Woodruff at
both Misstonarj' ^i«>t'*"te vr\'i Buek-
nell and by Registrar Horton.
Dr. Woodruff responded to all these
addresses in his usual happy manner;
recounting many of the joys and the
disappointments of the past and ex-
pressed determination to continue to
use his powers in the cause of edu-
cation and for the good of humanity.
The exercices were in charge of
Dr. Thos. C. Houtz as chairman of the
Public Occasions Committee.
The occasion proved to be a pleas-
ant affair and marked one of the
bright spots amid the trials and per-
plexities of a teachers life.

Closing Hymn.
Students and all others who enjoy
good lectures will he given the
privilege of hearing several this win- ■
ter. The Y. M. C. A. cabinet has ar- ;
ranged for a series of three to be giv- 1
en during the months of January and
February.
The first will be held January 30,
when Dr. Thos. C. Blaisdell, Dean of
the College of Liberal Arts at State
College, will lecture on "Today's
Patriotism." This is a very forcible
lecture and on a timely subject. Dr.
Blaisdell comes to us well recommend-
ed and has a wide reputation as a
lecturer.
The second will be February 12,
when Rev. C. P. Dastian, pastor of
the Lutheran church at Charleroi,
and a former Susquehanna student,
will speak on the subject "My Boy
and 1." This is an exceptionaHj* good
lecture, possessing a wealth of good
material and also considerable humor.
It deals with the boy problem. Rev.
Bastian is well informed on his sub-
ject and with his humor always sways
an audience. This lecture has been
given all thru the country and has
everywhere won for itself great ap-
probation.
The last of the course but by no
means the least is the widely known
Dr. Byron W. King, of Pittsburgh. He
will lecture on the subject "Pay Up or
Quit," February 20. Dr. King is so
widely known that it is needless to
say anything concerning him. Wher-
ever he goes he is greeted by a large
audience and he is .lO much wanted
that it is nearly impossible to secure
a date v.ith him. We feel very for-
tunate in getting him to Susquehanna
and are certain that everyone will
want to hear him.
These lectures will be held in Sei-
bert Hall and the admission for the
first two will be twenty-five cents
eacli. For the King lecture the
charges will be thirty-five cents with
fifteen cents additional for reserved
seats. Season tickets admitting the
owner to all the lectures including a
reserved seat at the King lecture will
be sold for seventy-five cents.
All members of the Y. M. C. A. who
have paid their 1917-1918 dues will be
admitted to these lectures free upon
presentation of their membership
ticket. At the King lecture ihey can
secure reserved seats by tlie pay-
ment of fifteen cents additional.
The sale of season tickets will be-
gin soon and recommend that all buy
I them as there is considerable saving
in so doing.
A CHRISTIAN THOUGHT
By Pvt. C. Howard Rothfuss,
Co. B, 314th Inf., N. A..
Camp Meade, Md.
God gave to us a holy book.
My eyes in it do often look;
A little rhyme from it 1 make
To honor him, for Jesus' sake.
"A" stand.s for the Almighty
Who dwells high above;
And looks upon his children
With a lalht'ily love.
"B" brings forth h._ Jessing,
Which he sliows every day.
It matters not where we travel
III '.s with UH on our way.
"C" stands for Ihf rhriKtinn,
Who needs his hnlp eaih hour:
And prays to him flnil.i
Tu maintain lin' i;isni power.
"T vid heart
A heart tluit" itu possess,
Liut if wf tauiioi reach his height
Each ono can do hi.s titst.
"E" is for the Earth below
Where the people dwell,
The righteous go to htavt n
Wliili' tlie wicked go to hell.
"F" is the Faith that we possess,
It may be much or little;
But if the amount be too small
We are hollow like a fiddle,
"G" is for God of all.
Who gave his only son.
To die upon the cross for us
For souls that were not won.
J
"H" is for our home in Heaven;
Thanks for the resting place,
God bless those that fry below
And help us to enhance.
"I" stands for the Israel
Who clung close to his God
And he was truly guarded
Whatever land he trod.
"J" stands for tlie Judas heart
One that you cannot trust.
As the world possesses many of theec
Wo believe them, btcau^^e we must.
"K" is the beginning of the great
v,oi-d King
A lulri upon much depends
If he be a follower of God I'm sure
Thru the counlry a good example
hf sends.
"L" is the beginning of onr dear Ix)rd
Who was born of the Virgin Mother,
By Herod's crt'ed they left Canaan
land.
And fled to Egypt, another.
"M" stands for Moses
The leader of a tribe;
Thru his many trials and temptations
He asked God to be his guide.
"N" s'ands for Noah
Tho '.iiit'bT of the ark.

.should not every student in Susque-
lianna show in a substantial way that
he is backins his government, since
he denominations of the loans are as
low as five dol'ars?
Give the chocolate bars the cold

BONDS!
Who does not chafe against bonds''
Yet how one sometimes trembles at
the lurking doubt of their security, —
granting of course that there are
bonds and bonds, sundry and diverse.
Now there are bonds intimate, of
which no mention need be made, they
being so necessary and so universal
that no normal individual needs in-
struction in their subtle character and
manner of performing. Either they
remain fast and true or they do not,
BO there's an end on't. So l)e it with
all things "boche!"
Then again (here are,— ah, yes there
are — bonds matrimonial. The editor-
ial band being yet untrammeled it
could propel an affluent p^n right
merrily across several reams of parch-
ment discoursing on tliis most ex
haustible subject. However Duty
bids us rush on. Yet, "it seems hardly
right."
Then Liberty Bonds. That is a good
word, "liberty." It is what we are all
fighting for now, those who mthe God-
dess of Liberty has challenged, pas-
sed as friends, and sent across to do
their bit, which promises to be their
all; and those who are held at home
to organize and utilize industrial re-
sources for the same cause.
What is there for us to do, students
in the chrysalis stage of citizenship?!
The bonds of duty seem to tug in var-
ious directions now. Yet for (he ma-
jority of us as long as the que^stion
remains to be decided by us, the great-
est obligation will no doubt be to go
on with the usual round of work of
"preparedness" of mind and body.
This does not allow our usual
leisurely method of preparing. The
men in our training camps are learn-
ing what it Is to concentrate. In thej
course of a few weeks they acf om j
plish what we ordinarily would cover'
in a year's time. Of course this is
due in part to present stress, yet is
proves beyond a doubt that we stu
dents are loafing on the job, and a
loafer these days is as much a slack-
er as the man who tries to evade thr
law.
Our government has made it siu'-
prisingly easy to lend a hand in the
■work attendant on the present war.
The answer to the demand for funds
with which to supply the necessary
equipments of munitions, warships,
destroyers, transports, and other ma
chinery of war, and to support relief
work has been made pfissible by the
Liberty Loans. They are made In
various sizes to fit every citizen,
young or old, rich or poor. Why
A CHRIGTIAN THOUGHT
(Continued from First I'age)
To protect his people from the flood
So that they could embark.
On my knees, I cry and pray; *
And ask to bo directed in the
narrow way.
One must continue night and day
For in this narrow path to stay.
"P" is the beginning of Peter
An apostle of Jesus Christ;
lie was loyal and faithful to his God,
But still he denied him thrice,
"Q" stands for the Question,
That sinners will ask you;
"If Christ died on the cross for all
Will he only save a few?"
"R" is the beginning of Righteousness,
Oh! God help us to maintain
This spiritual air, which thou w^ilt
grarft |
Without suffering bodily pain. '
"S" stands for the Savior who bled and
died.
So .shamefully was crucified; I
Now, "It is finished," Christ died say,
"He is the Life, the Truth, the Way," \
"T" brings us Temptation
If you yield; one pays the cost
To retain that noble and righteous
Vife,
Which he has so foolishly lost.
"U" is union between God and Nation;
It looks as tho he has forsaken.
Us, who are slaughtering one another.
But, not the prayer of the motlier.
"V" Twenty-three Verses this will;
make,
I must not yet my pen forsake.
Some useful thoughts ' have in mind
Lord, help rae so these thoughts I
find.
When death doth come the soul must
go,
To heaven or sink to endless woe.
What 1 have written is surely true.
The world doth now tho boast
pursue.
"X" stands for Xenophen,
A philosopher ^e|h noble and good;
Who was lielpful to men in may way.s,
For uprlghteou^ess he always
stood.
Yet, if we all amend our ways,
Then we shall soon se better days,
I'm sure if this the path we trace,
God will provide for those a place.
"7" with biimaii Zeal, but few do
speak.
And thus the (,ioi> o! God speak;
The love of Christ doth thou constrain,
They seek not here for earthly gain.
How many days I yet shall live,
1 know not; but to God I'll give
My heart, and with him always bo
Thru everlasting eternity.

COLLEGE NOTES
January 8, again finds us ^all back
within the halls and walls of old S. U.
relating the merry tales of vacation
and comparing last terms reports.
We all ha^ve come back with new zea)
and a greater determination to work.
Lets not fall short of our purpose.
Let us make the remaining days of
this school year ones that will count
not for ourselves only but for our fel-
low men as well.
Rev. Cressman payed S. U. a visit
during the opening days of the term.
Rev. Harry Miller visited at the
University ou Friday of last week.
. Among the new students who have
been enrolled at S. U. this term are
the following: Misses Long, Cressman,
Bonawitz, and Messrs. Snyder, Stray-
er, Blough. Keefer, Pothfus and
Dreese. To these we extend a hearty
welcome.
Despite the unfavorable weather,
quite a number of our lads and lasses
under the chaperonago of Rev. and
Mrs. Harry Walker, hiked to the
A SEIBERT HALL POEM
It is night and I am lonely
And want a man to kiss,
Then the days so sad and dreary
Would be filled with joy and bliss.
For when clouds are hovering near
me
And the sun has ceased to shine,
Then it is that I am longing
That your arms my waist entwine.
All around me there is laughter
A little work and some small talk
While I sit here fondly dreaming
Of you and a moonlight walk.
But since you are so far from me
And these dreams cannot come true
You can still do much to cheer me
When I'm sad and feeling blue.
Just write a cheery letter
Rather long and full of love
And I promise to bo ever
Your devoted turtle dove.

We are sorry to note that there has
been so much trouble with the pipes
freezing due to the extreme cold
weather. It is a litLle inconvenient
for the students, but everything pos-
sible is being done to better condi-
tions, so just be patient for a little
longer and everything will again b(
In shipshape.
Susquehanna surely is progressive
Many of the larger schools are hav-
ing Saturday sessions and shorter va
cations, In order to give the students
a chance to work. Starting Saturday,
Susquehanna will have half-day ses-
sions on Saturday, thus enabling us
to leave out a month earlier than
heretofore. This is much appreciated
by the majority of the student body.

On the last Friday of Fall term sev-
eral of the students went for a sleigh
ride to Sunbury. The only event of
note v,-as one of the boys running thru
the streets calling out "Whoa Kitty"
while he left his partner lying in a
snow drift. He iinally caught the
horse but some one else had to pick
his girl up.
With school on Saturday's, what
about Society night? We hope that
the Friday evening program will not
be discontinued as the students rca-
'ize that they are greatly benefited by
'lein.u; able to take part in these pro-
grams.
THE CALF PATH
"One day, thru the primeval wood,
A calf walked home as good calves
should,
And left a train all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
"Since then two hundred years have
fled,
And I infer the calf is dead,
Cut still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
"The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep,
Pursued- the trail o'er dale and steep,
And led his flocks behind him too.
As good bell-wethers always do.
"And from that day, o'er hill and
glade,
Thru those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out.
And bent nad turned and crooked
about.
And uttered words or righteous wrath,
Because 'twas such a crooked path.
"But still they followed — do not
laugh —
The first migrations of that calf,

GAME
GIRLS
IN
INITIAL
Susquehanna's Co-Eds made a good
beginning for their season by defeat-
ing Sunbury Ilif^h. School girls by the
decisive score ol 20-3 in Alumni Gym-
nasium Friday evening before a large
crowd. This was the first game of the
season for both teams but they show-
ed up well.
From the first it was evident that
the odds were with our girls. The
Sunbury girls played well but soon
showed that they were no match for
our Co-Eds.
During the fust quarter both teams
guarded closely and C. Schoch was
the only one to register any points.
In the second quarter Susquehanna
came back strong and Fetterolf suc-
ceeded in caging two goals in rapid
order followed by Parsing and C.
Schoch. The first half ended with the
score 10-0.
In the third quarter Susquehanna
succeeded in getting four more points
and in the last quarter Capt. Fetter-
olf brought down the house by caging
three more. Our girls played a very
good game and the prospects are good
for a successful season. The lineup
was as follows-
Susquehanna. Sunbury.
Fetterolf forward Wyant
Persing forward Zowin
C. Schoch center Clush
Rearick guard Bowen
L. Schoch guard Moore
Field goals— Fetterolf 6; Persing,
C. Schoch 3; Zewin. Foul goals —
Zewin 1 out of 6. Substitutions, Sus-
quehanna — Ayre for L. Schoch, Sig-
worth for Ayre, Fisher for Sigworth,

VICTOR HUGO ON HIS SEVEN-
TIETH BIRTHDAY
"Winter is on my head, and eternal
spring is in my heart. The nearer 1
approach the end, the plainer I hear
around me the immortal symphonies of
the worlds which invite me. It \b
marvelous, yet simple. It is a fairy-
tale, and it is a history. For half a
century I have been writing my
thoughts in prose, verse, history,
philosophy, drama, romance, tradition,
satire, ode, song — I have tried all. But
I feel thatT have not said the thous-
andth part of what is in me."
An important meeting of thirty
Lutheran ministers was held in Sun-
bury on January 8. A pastor's asso-
ciation was formed to include Luther-
on ministers from Selinsgrove to
Berwick and to Lock Haven, includ-
ing some whose pastorates are short
distances from the Susquehanna
River. The association was formed
in harmony with the coming merger of
the General Synod, the General Coun-
cil and United Synod in the South,
into the United Lutheran Church in
America.
This association will meet monthly
during nine months of the year. «Six
of these meetings will be in the local
sections at Sunbury, Bloomsburg an'l
Williamsport, and three of them will
be of the entire body at Sunbury.
The association will include 85 min-
isters whose parishes number 35.000
confirmed members. .
Dr. John B. Focht took nn active'
part in the forming of this body, to;
which all of the ten Lutheran minis-;
ters, who are regular residents of'
Selinsgrove, will belong.
The officers elected are: president.
Rev. Frank P. Manhart, Selinsgrove;
secretary. Rev. W. F. Pfeifer, Selins-
grove; treasurer. Rev. H. D. Spaeth,
D.D., Williampsort.

ISSUED ABOUT MAY 1ST
Y. M. C. A.
The Y. M. C. A. will hold its regular
weekly meeting tonigth in the roonus.
A very good speaker will address the
boys. All should be present.
The first section of the 1919 Lan-
thorn went to press this week. As the
term is to close before schedule time
this year it is essential that the work
on the year book be completed sooner
than usual. The staff is working very
hard to get all the material in so that
the book can be issued May first.
From all indications the book this
year will be better than ever. It is
10 be bound in a brown leather cover
with the title stamped on in gold. The
paper i.s exceptionally good and the
workmanship excellent. There is to
be a gold border around each page
which adds much to the beauty of the
book.
It is to be dedicated to "Our Boys
at the front" and will contain pictures
of the Susquehanna Unit and many
other views of interest to Alumni and
students. Thcwriteups are catchy
and the pictures interesting. In every
way it will be a first class book and
every Susquehanna student past and
present wiy want a copy.
The price will be three dollars.
Though the class has not yet began
to solicit orders the books can be
ordered novt from the Business Man-
ager, Mr. Papenfus. Delivery will be
made about May 1st.

"TODAY'S PATRIOTISM"
Seibert Hall Tuesday, Jan. 29th
Must tell you of a tunny game I
saw last evening. It was advertised
as a basketball game between Lafay-
ette College and our camp team.
Having never seen a basketball game
before these were my impressions of
it.
Proci'eding to the camp recreation
building 1 selecti^d a scat at one end
of the floor said to be the scene of
the coming encounter, but could see
absolutely no apparatus what ever wilh
which a game could be played. How-
ever I did see markings on the floor
that simulated hieroglyphics and
hence concluded that it must be Bome
revived Indian game.
The band then played several se-
lections of very "Jaazy" mu.e'c, all th'j
while fellows kept streaming in and
sitting down until there were about
l!iOO of us there. AH of a sudden a
mighty yell went up as two groups
of fellows came trotting out on the
floor. I could see ' nothing to yell
about tho as they were anly very or-
dinary looking fellows except that
their dress, or rather the lack of it
was a disgrace to our present day
civilization. If a policeman had been
present I am sure Ihey would have
been arrested. One fellow carried a
leather covered ball in one arm that
tho fellow sitting beside me said was
a ba.sket ball, but it no more resem-
bled a basket than did the targets
thoniHelves at which the fellow.s t'hrew
the ball. They were only iron rings
attached to boards suspended from
the ceiling and had fish nets attached
to them. When the first fellow threw
the ball and missed the ring I con-
cluded that the main idea of the game
was to land the ball safely in that net.
but when the second man hit the ring
to my utter bewilderment, the ball,
instead of staying in the net, passed
out the bottom, thus upsetting my
former theory and once more had me
guessing.
Just then a man in white trousers
and sweater (someone called him the
referee) blew a whistle and the game
was on. He threw the ball up in the
air and the two men closest to it. In
their anxiety to grab it just pushed it
to one side and one of our men com-
ing down that side of the floor caught
it and then did the most stupid thing
I ever heard of: instead of trying to
hit one of the Lafayette men he threw
it straight at one of our men. For-
tunately he didn't get angry but start-
ed running toward the other end of
the floor, bouncing the ball on the
floor all the while. If he would have
put the ball under his arm and jus*
run I think he would have gotten
there sooner. 1 told the follow be-
side me so, but he only smiled and
muttered "stupid." It certainly is
hard to convince some people. When
the man with the ball did got to the
other end of the floor he dropped 'he
ball thru the ring and net and the
crowd simply went crnzy; just as if
Ty Cobb had hit a home run with the
(Concluded on Pnge Three)
LEAVMLENTOWN
UNIT 574 LEAVE CAMP TO GO
"OVER THERE. SERGT. AIKENS
MADE LIEUTENANT
Members of the Susquehanna Uni-
versity Ambulance Corps arc on their
way "over there." They left the Al-
lentown camp last work. We are pro-
hibited by military m-ressity from di-
vulging from which American port
they embarked or where they are to
go. The men were only allowed to
send word to their friend.s that they
were about to leave and soon after-
v,ard they marched out of camp. They
have been in training a< the Allentowa
camp since they enlisted last June.
The unit left with a new "top" ser-
geant. Sergeant Aikens who has
been with them since they first en-
listed has been commissioned as First
Lieutneant and it is not definitely
known who has been promoted to his
place altho it is regarded very likely
that Ralph Witmer has been promoted
and that Sweeley and Farrel are the
second sergeants.
Severiil of the boys who were at first
in the unit have been transferred to
other sections so that we are unable
it this time to give a correct roster
of the unit. Several are in the band,
umie are in the Hospital section
while others are in other departments.
Teichart, who had been home where
he was confined with pneumonia was
able to return to the camp the latter
part of the week but discovered that
his comrades had left He does not
yet know what he will do but is try-
ing to be transferred to the State
Unit.
It is hard for us here to think of
our classmates away from us but we
know that they will all do their duty
and our best wishes and prayers are
with them wherever they may be.
A DREAM OF SHAKESPEARE
"To be or not to be. that is the
question."
Like "Hamlet" I once made the sug-
gestion.
As out I walked, I met a dog (,
And raised my ann to strike it,
W'hen I heard a voice exclaiming,
"Hold!"
I answered, "As you like it."
As on I walked, a loving pair 1 met;
I soon discovered it was "Romeo and
Juliet."
"Two Gentlement from Verona," all
diessed in their bei(*t
Caught a good drenching while out in
a "Tempest."
They sat by my fire, hung their coats
on a nail.
While I related to the m 'A Winter's
Tale."
They stayed until tho "Twelfth Night,"
Until the storm had ceased it.s terrors.
They made "Much Ado About Noth-
ing,"
Which proved a "Comedy of Errors."
Then came "Othello" and lago, loo,
Which brought to my mind "The Tam
Ing of the Shrew."
Like "Richard (he Third" 1 awoke,
And s' range everything did seem.
At last 1 realized my situation —
It was anly a "Midsummer Night's
Dream."

UNKNOWN HEROES
"Full many a flower is born to blush
unseen."
We have many heroes and much
hero worship. We are dazzled by the
glamor of arms, and admire the Cid,
Bayard, and Richard Coeur de Lion,
we are thrilled hy the daring feats of
countless war heroes. We are stir-
red no less by the dauntless exploit «
of discoverers, explorers, and adven
turers; be it Stanley searching the
darkest nooks of Africa , or Peary
traversing the barren white Sahara of
the North. We are inspired by the
heroic struggles of inventors like
Jenner, the father of vaccination, and
of legions of other great men. We
are touched by the gentle heroism of
John Maynard, Grace Darling, and
the little boy in Holland who plugged
a hole in the dike with his tiny fist j
and saved his country from the rav-
ages of a flood.
Heroes, of course, are exceptional;
that is why we honor them. Of the
millionfold mass of mankind not many
rise to that heiglit of true '■'< '•'^'^m
in word, deed, or suffering. Neverthe-
less, there are far more heroes than
we know. Violets bloom in the shady
valleys, the edeweis.s i.s found high in
the Alps, where man can hardly climb,
and beautiful flowers wither, unseen
by
unnoticed in the dreiiiy regions near
the Pole. So there are, and always
hare been, flowers of humanity In un-
known ages, in unknown lands, or in
hidden pla(;(>s, shooting up from the
plains of the people. Unknown
Heroes.
Unknown heroes there are of civil-
izations gone by and forgotten, of nii-
tions long dismembered and ruined,
of continents whose past is shrounded j
in deep mystery. Perhaps Mother'
Earth will someday turn up secrets
of other countries an-l their civiliza-
tions, as she has told a little about
Egypt. Babylon and Assyria. Still
many a name once famed and f(;ared.
will never again be formed by human
lips; many a hero of old is doomed
to remain forever unknown.
But we need not bother about such
unknown heroes as the leaders of the
Indian invasion into this country, the
heroeB of those «'arly explorations,
conquests, and pionetr days. There
are unknown heroes much nearer
and dearer to us, whom we shall men-
tion, if not by name, at least by class.
There are the unknown heroes of
war. Every one knows that, after all.
It is not the hls:hly decorated and
zly I'aco and expansive chest, who it
the real heroe of the campaign, but
usually* rather some lean lieutenant,
and then the nir.n in the raulvs, lu
who wades thru mud and blood, does
the dir.y work, and bears the brunt
of all but tlie glory. Then there an
imcounted heroes in the hospitals
and at home, people generally so
modest in tlu-ir heroic sacrifices and
suiferings that their heroism is greate)'
than that of the worshipped dare-
devil aeronauts. They are the real
heroes of the v.'ar, and yi^t unknown,
and too often unrecognized and un-
appreciated.
So it is at all times, in every place
and circumstance. Rndisson is for-
gotten, Marquette remembered. We
all know of Fulton, few of Johnny
Fitch. One may work as hard and
suffer as much as another; at length
Fortune smiles on the one and frowns
on the other: then men smile on the
one and frown on the other. For ev-
ery victor there is a victim. Not only
Champollion strove to interpret the
hieroglyphs, Seyfarth did too. But
the world crowns not the hero that
fails, be his efforts ever so heroic.
One wins and is a hero. The otbc
loses and is unknown.
It often seems so discouraging. A
young man was sent as a missionary
to the Apache Indians in Arizona.
Thirteen years he spent in the hot '
country, and a lot more. He gave
away free Bibles, and when he had no
more, his own, and five and ten-dollar ^
bills besides. He spent all his salary,
but not on himself, noi on his family, j
his wife and little boy, with whom he
was happy even in the blazing desert, i
Then the climate told; his wife died
of consumption, the boy also. The
missionary, himself consumptive, had
to resign and find work as a laborei
on a fruit farm. He was cheerful and
kind, even when he was told that he
ought rather to have died at his post
than resign. An unknown hero.
Yes, Charles Reode is right: "Not
a day passes over the earth but men
and women of no note do gi-eat deeds,
speak great words, and suffer noble
sorrows."
But why are so many heroes un-
known? Because their heroism is
not of the showy, blustering type, but
a plain, everyday, commonplace sort
of thing. They are something like
your mother. She doesn't look like a
heroine, there's nothing of the Joan
of Arc about her, nor anything sug-
gestive of the Battalion of Death; no
man, along the equator, and die , ^^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^ ^ ^,^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^.^pj^

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The Y. M. C. A. meeting last Tues-
day evening was led by Baer. A good
crowd was present to hear Rev. Sas-
saman, of Northumberland, who ad
dressed the local organization. By
way of introduction he stated that he
appreciated the splendid attendance.
It is always worth while to lay aside
hooks and other work to feed the sou!
in Y. M. C. A. worship. We are ever
conscious of our physical needs,—
hunger and cold— but our spiritual
needs are not so obvious and hence
are often neglected. The theme of his
talk was "War and Religion." As
much as we dislike war and are cons-
cious of its terrible ravages yet are
we also conscious of the good that it
nevertheless accomplishes. That
cause which is Impelled by right
motives, uses right means and is right
may rightly invoke divine aid and
such we believe our couse to be.
President Lincoln declared a day of
prayer after the battle of Bull Run
when all Christians should invoke di-
vine blessing on the armies of the
North and on this day a band of
skeptics also met to pray giving for
their reason that they believed that
skepticism had no place in time of
war. America is blessed with an
abundance of material things and has
often unjustly been accused of ma-
terialism. Wealth may be acquired
by creative industry, fraud or theft.
But stolen goods damn the hands tha'
steal. The war has revealed America's
true spirit— a spirit of sacrifice and
'int of materialism. Patriotism has
sl^In self interest. America's motto
la "Serve, Save, Sacrifice." She haw
transmuted invention, gold, trade and
comfort into patriotism. Frivolit%
signifies decline; seriousness, ascen
dcncy. The great musicians, poelf
and artists of the world worked ser
iously. And now America Is serious
America is awakening to the cost o
freedom. Our ancestors conquerei!
the wilds of America for us. Anf
America has developed until it has be
come a synonmyn for opportunity
And America is fighting for the right
Lincoln was concerned, not with
whether God was on his side a.
whether he was on God's side. Wai
is not all suffering but has some glory
And America will win the war and gei

SUSQUEHANNA U5AAC
WRITES LETTER
(Continued from I'irst Page)
bases full. I couldn't see the joke,
bu'. yelled anyhow, so my partner be-
side me wouldn't call me stupid again.
Tlie ball was then tossed up and
the whole crazy proceedings started
~)ver anew: It must become awfully
monotonous to the players, and tha'
referee man "was certainly the most
impudent bloke I ever saw: he didn't
)lay at all, never even tried to get
ho ball, yet had more to say about
the game than the players. They-
'istened to him better than to a
colonel in the army. Why, at one
ime when two of the players had a
little boxing encounter and I stood up
in my chair and cheered them on, the
'^rowd all glared at me and the referee
had the nerve to blow his whistle and
yell "foul." I knew he was wrong for
;t is perfectly legitimate to hit a man
'n the face while boxing, but when I
started out on the floor to explain to
Lhe referee someone pulled me back.
I wasn't mad hut just wanted our team
^o get a fair deal.
Just after that a Lafayette man shot
he foul goal and the referee wouldn't
permit our men try to prevent it. The
game lasted 40 minutes and Lafayette
won 26-25. I don't see how they figur-
ed it out, for three of the Lafayett"
men were hurt and none of ours were,
but the referee said they won and
everyone, of course, but myself be-
lieved him. I didn't try to argue this
time for I knew it would be useless.
Then as a crowning achievement, our
team pulhid off the biggest piece of
Stupidity of (he evening. They gave
a yell for the team that had beaten
them.
Con you Imagine it? It seemed In-
credible to me for I had never seen it
in any contest before In all the
prize fights I ever witnessed I never
saw the man who was knocked out,
get up and yell Rah! Rah! Rah! for
his opponent who was responsible for
his being all mashed up. An utterly
stupid rediculous and exasperating
gome.
For news of the camp life see "Col-
liers" for Jan 5th and the January
"American."
This letter was written shortly be-
fore they sailed for foreign soil.

THE FOOTPATH TO PEACE
A Thought for the Opening Year.
To be glad of life, because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the start;
to be satisfied with your possessions,
but not contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them; to
despise nothing In the world except
falsehood and meanness, and to fear
nothing except cowardise; to be gov
srned by your admirations rather
than by your disgusts; to ^iovet noth-
iilfj that is your neighbor's except bis
vindness of heart and gentleness of
manners; to think seldom of your
enemies, often of your friends, and
every day of Christ; and to spend as
much time as you can, with body and
with spirit. In God's out-of-doors—
hese are little guide-posts on the
footpath of peace.— Henry Van Dyke.

There is no doubt about it that we
are now living in the days of real
sport. During the papt week it was
no uncommon sight to see many of the
students sltating down to the river,
and from there many interisting trips
were made. Sunbury and Port Trev-
orton seemed to be the favored plac-
es. Then too there were many who
took advantage of the coasting on Col-
lege Avenue, the worthy theologs
bringing out their bob sled, the "Old

SONG OF THE DECANTER
There was an old decanter,
and its mouth was gaping
wide; the rosy wine ,
had ebbed away
and left
lis crys-
tal side;
and the wind
went humming,
humming;
up and
down the
sides it flew
and through the
reedlike
hollow nrck
the wildest notes it
blew. I placed it in the
window, where the blast was
blowing free, and fancied that its
pale mouth sang the queerest strains
to me. "They tell me — puny con-
querors! — the Plague has slain his ten,
and War his hundred thousands of the
very best of men; but 1"— 'twas thus
the bottle spoke — "but I have con-
quered more than all your famous con-
querors, so feard and famed of yore.
Then come, ye youths and maidens,
come dring from out my cup, the
beverage that dulls the brain and
burns the spirit up: that puts to
shame the conquerors that slay
their scores below; for this has
deluged millions with the lava
tide of woe. Though in the
path of battle, darkest waves
of blood may roll; yet while
I killed the body 1 have
dammed the very soul.
The cholera, the sword,
such ruin never wrought.
as I in mirth or malice, on
the innocents have brought.
And still 1 breath upon them,
and they shrink before my breath;

'% CO-EDS DOWN OLD RIVALS IN
VERY HARD AND FAST GAME
Large Crowd Witness Conflict With Mt.
Carmel in Which Our Girls Prove Easy
W
inners
Mount Carmel High School girls fell i guard and at no time had the High
before the onslaught of our Co-eds on i School girls a chance to shoot. Per-
Friday night when they were handed , sing and Woodruff in spite of the
the short end of a 34-7 score. Our strong guarding of the Mt. Carmel
girls showed w onderf ul form and altho
playing the game undei strange rules
they romped away with the visitors in
great style. Spaulding rules were
played and it was the first game wit-
nessed by local fans under thesfe rules.
From the beginning it was evident
that Susquehanna was too much for
the Mt. Carmel lassies. A large
crowd witnes.scd the game and enthus
iasm ran high. Everytime a Susque-
hanna Co-ed secured a point it was
met with cheers of delight. The stu-
dent band was on hand and added
much to the game. As a whole the
game was an example of clean playing
and the usual squabbling which us-
ually occurs in girls' pames was lack-
ing. The team this year is considered
the best that ever represented Sus-
quehanna and indications point to a
most successful season.
Sustiuehanua scored shortly after
the whistle blew when Fetterolf cag-
ed a goal from a difficult angle and
after that the co-eds scored almost at
will. C. Schoch and Fetterolf display-
ed marvelous team work and took the
ball down the floor repeatedly and suc-
ceeded in scoring. Rearick and L.
Schoch played a' brilliant game at

team suceeded in caging several
points. Miss Woodruff did remarkably
well in foul shooting. Haas and Raup
were the only ones on the visitors line-
up who succeeded in caging two '
pointers. Mt. Carmel must be given
credit for putting up a game fight altho
they were completely outclassed.

Doubtless many of our readers
know something of the United States
Employment Service, that branch of
our National Government operating
some eighty-five public (free) em-
ployment offices thruout the United
States. We believe, however, that
very few know that at one of these
i offices, that at Chicago, Illinois, a sec-
tion has been set apart of the sole
benefit of professional men and wo-
men, known as the Teachers and Pro-
fessional Service Division. Thru this
division the Government endeavors to
find suitable positions for teachers
and professional engineens (drafts-
men, civil, mechanical, electrical en-
gineers, chemists, metallurgists, etc.)
and suitable persons for school officers
and employers needing .such help. In
a few words this division is a Teach-
Haaa ers' and Engineering Agency, operat-
Raup ed by the United States Government.
OBITUARY
Jesse McKee Hostetter, passed from
this life at the Mercy Hospital Jhons-
town, on Thursday, January 10th, at
6:30 p.m., at the age of 20 years.
Jesse Hostetter was a young man
of considerable ability and accomplish-
ments. He was a graduate of the
Farrel, Pa. High School and of the
Lock Haven State Normal School,
class of 1914. From that institution
he came to Susquehanna, where he I Fullmer

proved himself an apt student as well
as an enthusiastic participant in the

and graduated in 1916, the youngest
member of his class.
Upon leaving school he entered a
pharmacy store in his home city,
Johnstown, to secure the experience
necessary for admission to a college
of Pharmacy. Later he secured a
position with the Cambria Steel Cor-
poration as brakeman on the Cambria

heartfelt sympathy in their bereave- »>e ^ convenience to the Division if
ment. i (Concluded on Second Page)
Dr. P. B. Prentis, acting director of
employment for Illinois, under whose
jurisdiction this division is operated,
reports that durng the past year it
has been found impossible to find
enough teachers to supply the iifcd,
and many attractive positions thru-
out the United States have been un-
filled for this reason. It has frequent-
ly happened, however, that immediate-
ly after a position had been reported
filled thru other sources, a suitable
candidate would effect registration.
Of course it was then too late to nom-
inate the teacher for that particular
position. Dr. Prentis earnestly hopes
that such occasion.s may be quite in-
frequent during the 1918-19 appoint-
ment season. This can only be accom-
plished by every available teacher
being registered in the Division be-
fore the opening of the appointment
season. We therfore suggest that if
you expect to be available for a new
position for the next year that you
write t Dr. Prentis immediately for a
registration blank. Then, when the
appointment season opens in April or
May, your record will be complete and
the division may be able to nominate
you for the first suitable position re-
ported. Registration in the Teachers
and Professional Service Division will
also benefit you in other ways for,
should you learn of a position for
which you would like to apply thru
any other source, the Division will, if
asked, send copies of your confiden-
tial record to the school officer to
whom application is made.
Any applications intended for this
divisin shuld be addressed "Teachers

bash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois." Ap-
plicants for registration should Indi-

"My children, clear your mmds of
cant." — Dr. Johnson Shelley says:
"Mankind is fond of inventing certain
solemn and sounding expressions
which appear to convey much, and in
reality mean little — wcrds that are
the proxies of absent thoughts." That
i.s one phase of cant. The other phase
is brought out in Carlysle's word.s:
"Cant is itself a double-distilled lie,
the second power of a lie."
Our age is steeped in a quagmire of
cant, cant in all its forms, cant in
common social life, cant in the pro-
fessions, cant in all the relations be-
tween man and men. We may detest
cant, yet we all make use of It. We
are so accustomed to cant that we
are astounded when one dares to say
he is bored by Beethoven, Mill on.
Raphael, St. Gaudens. At the same
time we admire this "virtue of intre-
pidity," which has the courage to as-
sert itself in a world professing
aesthetic delight, piping its Ahs. and
Ohs! We may pity sncb. as men's
artistic sen.se; but, granting snum
cuique, we concede that it is really
nobler to be fearlessly honest than to
follow the driveling myriads, chant-
ing cant.
Have you ever paused to consider
the dead conventionalities we employ
in our daily life? We parade the
streets with our lil)tral "Ilow-are
you's" "Happy New Years!" "Good
Mornings!" But are we always in-
terested in the health and prosperity
of the persons addressed? We never
fail to superscribe our letters, "My
dear sir," "My very dear Sir:" we
never fail to subscribe them, "Your
ot)edient servant," "Very truly yours."
Still, is It not often the case that we
all but detest the addressed? Yet,
if he. with but a single word, should
give expression to doubt concerning
our sincerity, our temper would rise
to a white heat of indignant resent-
ment. We are the recipients of a
trifiing kindness; we exhau.st the
whole vocabulary of Gratitude (feel-
ing perhaps, in our hearts a keen
humiliation because we must accept
the favor). Our benevolent benefac-
tor is fully as voluble in disclaiming
any merit in the grant (which, per
liaps, has been grudged, which he will
ever consider as a sacrifice.) Such
cant may be argued necessary; with-
out it the external world would be a
veritable world of boors.
Pick up that newspaper! Here,
read liow tliey extol ilie "phllanthro
pist" the "public benefactor" for the
latest donation towards some charita
ble enterprise -when it was really
given because the doii'T could not get
off for lesH." Then lh<' stereotyptd
"'brinks." "grateful acknowledge-
ment." "compliment" of your butcher,
' baker, candlestick maker! The "last
appearances," "Very last appearanc-
es." "very positively last appearanC"
OS," of the concert star, the band, and
Uhe circus! — "Words, words, words."
Take your afterdinner speaker. Fus-
sing, fidgeting, he arises; with ner-
vousness and faltering spoach he
apologi:5es for his lack of preparation
to meet the unexpected demand. But
ho can't deceive you with such a cant;
you know that such an apology is
merely the preface to an "impromptu"
weeks-in-laborous-prepa ration. Very
similar to this is the traditional "Oh
how sudden!" "How unexpected!" of
Idushing Bridget.
One should expect that our literary
men weic free from cant. Are they?
Go to any library and peep into some
"Prefaces." How they apologize for
the "meanness" of their "humble ef-
forts" Reasons innunieral)le they ad-
vance for "inflicting their works on
the publlc—they really say "inflict,"
when most often the real reason was,
perhaps, the mere plea.sure of writing,
'he hope for some distinction, for a
little money. They Invite criticisin.
Still, if the criticism s unfavorable,
•hey roar, "Spite! Envy! Jealously!"
The cant doesn't ahviiys end in the
^'Prefaces" either. You will often
Hnd pages, whole chapters, if not en-
■ ire books, of nothing but "words.,
words, words," structure, no life;
form, no soul; abundance of fine
writing, no Ideas!
The pre-Cowper period in English
Literature, you will remember,
abounds In such productions. Poetry.
"instead of being the vehicle of lofty
and noble sentiments, had degenerated
into a mere trick of ait, a hand-organ
operation, in which one man could
grind out tunes as wi 11 as another,"
In those days of eternally "rosy" wine
and "balmy sleep" the sun was always
"Phoebus" or the "orb of day," and
the moon was "Diana" or "the reful-
gent lamp of night." Carriages were
"harnessed pomps"; houses were
"piles," humble or stately, the wind
was always "a gentle zei)hyr." All
women were "nymphs," and "Naides"
were as plentiful in the streams as
fish. When a youth fell In love,
"Cupid laid in ambush in the ladles
eye, and from that fortress shot a dart
at th>" unhappy youth, who straight-
way began to writhe tmder his wound,
;ind found no ease until the lady was
l)leas<'d to smile on him." Small
v.ondir that men gave a sigh of re-
lief when Cowper struck the prevail-
ing literary cant, with Its neuseatlng,
theradbare mythological allusionii a
vital blow with a Ian^:uage virile, UD-

CAN'T— WHAT IT IS AND WHY WE
MUST RID OURSELVES OF IT
(Continuer from First Page)
affected, and straightfurward.
Leaving the field oi literature for
that of politics, you will find yourself
choking in an atmosphere dense with
"words, words, words." The whole
substratum of international politics is
the veriest cant. It needed not the
last years to unearth this fart. Al-
ready many years ago an ambassador
was defined as " gentleman sent a-
broad to lie for his country." Can you
beat it? Cant-slingers by profession!
One riiQjiarch styles himself "His Most
Christian Magesty," another, "De-
fender of the Faith," titles often so
meaningless that even the humblest
cotter and lowest serf spout their
vulgar banter.— The pressure of pub-
lic opinion forces the autocrat to hand
down from his sky-tickling throne a
"My Well-Beloved" proclamation.
Well-beloved? Never! "Herd . . .
fickle, proud, fantastic, vain," that's
the Intensity of his benign affection.
George I obtains the crown of Eng-
land by an act of Parliament. In his
first address to the august assembly he
has the impudent boldn( ss to speak
of ascending the "throne of his an-
cestors"! And our politicians, who
has offices by wire-pulling, graft and
boodle, publicly thank tiieir fellow'
citizens for their "voluntary and un-
biased suffrages!"
A most repugnant form of cant is
the profession of extreme humility by
men full of arrogant pride. Pope
Gregory VII, the per.-^oniflcation of
haughtiness heavenhinh, was determ-
ined to claim the title fcvvus servoruni
Die. Try to harmonize that with
Canossa, with the demand that the
Christian kings of F:urope kiss his
toes and liold his stirrups !— Yes, and
the luQUisition was the Holy Office!"
"Catherine of Russia was alway.s
mouthing the language of piety and
benevol(>nco, especially when about to
wage war or do some rascally deed.
Louis the Fourteenth!— paroxysms of
repentance and devotion were always
the occasion for fresh outrages on th"
Huguenots; and Napoleon was always
prating of his love for peace, and of
being compelled to fight by his quarrel-
some neighbors." The guillotine's
dull clang blends wondrously well with
the chiming chord of "Lilierty, Eaual-
ity. Fraternity"! One of Robespier-
re's co-cnt-throats rears doves, because
"the contemplation of their Innocence
consoles him for the wickedness of
men," "Good heavens, Madam! have
you no humanity? another bellows
out to a distracted woman who steps
on his dog's tail while lelreating from
his presence — after pleading in vain
lor husbands life.
Similar is the cant of most moral
philosaphers, as exemplified by om
of the greatest-great. Seneca. Hi.'^
ethical writings breathe a spirit
which many would ascribe to the in-
fluences of Chrislianily. Read in the
liglU of his life, however, they are
only so many words. Seneca parades
a contempt for the vanity of riches,
writes brilliantly in piaise of pover;y,
the equivalent of fifteen million dol-
lars in his coffers! He denounces ex-
tortion with virtuous anger — he builds
his famous museum garden with the
"gold and tears of Numidia"! He
preaches on the purity of morals — is
himself publicly accused of the great-
est immorality! He writes on clem-
ency—Nero is. his enlightened pupil!
Uhlhorn asserts that he composed the
letter in which Nero justified before
the Senate the murdei of his own
mother!
Art and religion also have their
cant. But why bore you by descant-
ing at length on cant? You know
what cant is, in all its forms, nothing
but "sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal"; whether it be the flummery
and inanities of "words, words, words"
or the mechanical panoting of mean-
ingless conventionalities and twad-
dling claptrap; whether it be the ly-
ing in traditionary formulas or the
wilful conscious insincerity of speech,
where the tongue no longer is the in-
dex of the heart, and where language
is but a mere "camouflage." In the
1 first place cant is most often a mark
of supreme shallownees, detestable;
in the other case it is the mark of de-
ceitfulness, at _al times abhorrible.
"My children, clear your minds of
cant"— "Can" it!

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
In the absence of the engaged speak-
er the program committee called on
two theolog members for talks at the
Y, M. C. A. meeting. Warner led the
devotions which consisted of several
songs, the reading ot the 103 Psalm
and sentence prayers by the mem-
bers. Goss and Shobert rendered a
peautiful cornet-clarinet solo. Har-
kins was then called on to speak. His
talk was along patriotic lines urging
the members that they should keep
strong, physically, mentally and mor-
ally and do their part at home that
j we may not bring disgrace to our boys
at the front, and that they who shed
their blood on the fields of France
and die for the cause of democracy
may not have died in vain. Crossland
then spoke from the narrative of
'David going out to fight Goliath. He
recounted the coming of the boy David
to the camp on an errand to his
l)rothers, his witiessing the challange
of Goliath and his acceptance, his
trial of Saul's armor which proved to
be too large and cumbersome for the
youth. It was from this last that he
drew the lesson— that every man
should use his own armor, should uso
'his own talents and be himself and
I not an imitator. The president made
some announcements and the meeting
was closed with a song and the pray-
ing together of the Lord's prayer.
The attendance was small and the
secretary took the following census of
those present. Of the 30 present. 4
were seminarians, 4 juniors, 3 sopho-
mores, 11 freshmen, 5 preps and 3
specials. The fraternity and non-frat
men were equal In number. 20 of the
30 were classical students or theologs.

Last Friday morning in chapel, Dr.
Aikens referred to the mat;er of con-
serving in every way po.ssible. Under
the existing war conditions, the ele-
ment of patrioti.sm involved should
be observed by everyone, for the per- '
iod of our national crisis. Each stu-
dent should feel it his or her patriotic
duty to help out in this matter as far
as possible.
Registrar Horton has recovered from
j his recent collapse during the freezing
season, and is now busy ijreparing for
a much needed vacation. He will
leave shortly for San Bernardino,
California, where Mrs. Horton is
.spending the winter.
We are glad to no'.e that the Sus-
quehanna weather man is again on the
job. For quite a while the matter of
floating the weather signals has been
neglected, and the fart that we can
again see them afloat, is surely satis
factory to all.

not conserve on examinations at the

Many of the students of Susquehan-
na University Avere up to Middloburg
Saturday, to hear Senator Tuscan and
Lieut. McCrory. We certainly feel in-
debted to Dr. Alliens and Dr. Wood-
rulT for their part in securing these
speakers. Lieut. McCrory has seen
actual service in the trenches, and he
told many inleredting things that
have happened tliere. At the close of
his address he made a plea, that ev-
eryone writing letters to our boys in
the service should write as cheerful
as possible, as the boys really needed
letters of that sort to help them keep
; up their spirits while actually facing
death.

Evils---Of Great Value to Country
STIRRING LECTURE ON WARTIME
SUBJECT TONIGHT AT 8:15— AN
INTERESTING SPEAKER
Ln.st vrcdiiOHua;- morning at tho
chaiM'l f^i-rvice a representative of tlie
International rroliibition Association
was present and spolve. He outlined
the work of the Association in the
great struggle to inal^e the nation dry.
He told of the pioat value of the stu-
dents in the reL-( nt dry fipht in Ohio.
Over 1,000 students gave their ener-
gies to help in the great flghl. The
the victory was lost thru some "Cin-
cinnati niistalus" yet the people of
Ohio feel they have won a victory and
a great deal of tlie credit is given to
the student volunteers. These were
trained for their tasks in study clas-
ses organized under the direction of
the I. P. A.
- The association does not require any
pledges in ioiinn?, nor does 'u limit
. its membership to men. It is open to
all and it hopes that after a study of
the evils of liquor the student will he
ready to help in tlie great battle.
He gave another talk in the Gym
after the military drill class and at
that time the local organization was
perfected. Over forty members join
ed and the following were elected to
fdl the offices: Allbeck, president;
Persing, vice-president; Shoaf, secre-
tary and treasurer; Janson, reporter.
It is the aim of the organization to
organize a class in the university for
the study of the problem. Several
years ago there was a claims of this
kind here and great benefit was deriv-
ed from it, In addition to this regular
college class there will be monthly
meetings and debates. It i.s hoped
that there will be some debater, from
Susquehanna enter the State contest.
Susquehanna's enrollment in this
worthy cause is above the average of
the other colleges but there is still
room for improvement. Why not
make this a 100 percent affair? Why
shouldn't every student join it. The
dues are only fifty cents a year one-
half for the national association and
one-half for the state fund. This In-
cludes a subscription to the Intercol-
legiate Statesman, the official organ
of the I. P. A.
1-UTHER, HERALD OF DEMOCRACY
"Luther was the unconscious herald
of our Democracy, farced into war by
Luther's now essentially anti-Luther-
an nation. We do well to honor Luth-
er and thus to enthuse our resolve to
compel Germany's return to peace
that can be permanent only In her re-
turn to Luther's principles."— The
Outlook.
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF A
COLLEGE EDUCATION
Among the noble ambition.s in the
heart of man is the one that urges
and stimulates to acquire wisdom.
This idea is very aptly expressed by
that wise man in Holy Writ when he
said "'Happy is the man that flndelh
wisdom and the man (hat getteth un-
derstanding, for she is the tree of life
to them that lay hold on her; and
happy is everyone that retaineth her. '
Indeed to get wisdom is to acquire
that power which gives life more
abundantly. Those who have been the
greatest benefactors of mankind: who
have been the leaders in church and
state, were people of scholarly attain-
ments. They secured their powers by
d;i:„-.nt!y acquiring wisdom, thru a
persistent application to study. The
call of the present is just as incessant
as ever before for men and women
with thought power, who will use it
for the benefit of maknind.
But in order to be wise: to acquire
this thought power, it is necessary to
devote years to study in these fields
which are the sources of wisdom. The
attainments thru elementary and sec-
ondary education are not adequate
enough to make the normal student
highly eOicient in thought or enable
in a broad sense to secure the true
appreciation of life. There is a tend-
ency in some quarters today to make
this attainment all that is necessary
for a business career: and an appre-
ciation of a well proportioned life.
However, there are encouraging evi-
dences in many places to correct this
fallacy: and students are urged to
continue their education by attending
colleges.
Well informed people admit the in-
adequacy of a high school education
to enaljle one to think broadly and
deeply. And thereby to a large de-
gree minimizing that fuller apprecia-
tion of life: we ask, what superior at-
tainment does a college education of-
fer? The chairs of instruction in the
different fields of study are occupied
by men who have become masters in
thft, subjects which tliey teach. The
subjects for study prior to college
come to a transaction stage at this
time: there is infused the artistic
element. This diverges into the two
principal avenues of scholaristic at-
tainment, the Classical and Scientific.
Men and women pursuing these cours-
es for a period of four years, being
taught by men who are masters, re-
ceive a degree of Bachelor. In other

the bluffers, particulatly the former.
Nor is there a student more miserable j
in the college.
Now a Bluffer is always a Slacker,
but he is one who is able to get away j
with it most of the time. A Slacker j
is no better. He is just an ordinary j
creature, who, like his friend, the
Bluffer, finds his work rather Iieavy
and hopes to escape but he has not
the gift of covering ignorance or as-
suming knowledge. The plain Slacker
probably has more- ahead than the
Bluffer, because he is so often brought
to shame by his uncovered ignorance,
that the chances are he will be con-
verted from the error of his way
while the Bluffer will not turn. If all
the misspent effort and gloomy re-
flections were used in direct study
either one would make a good student.
It is not a question which is the better
to tal<e as an example, or which. is
the more honest, but rather which one
deserves more of our disgust.— The

The be.qt game of year., „iis .-staged
in the Alumni Gymnasium on Satur-
day niglit v.hen the Lewisburg High
School girls lost to the Susquelianna
Co-eds by the score of 13-6. Boya'
rule.s were played and the g;uiie was
fitsi and exciting from begimiin;;- to
end.
The Lewisburg quintet came here
undefeated, having won < v< ry game
played this year and were confident of
victory. With them came a large dele-
,?aiion of rooters v.iio had come to
witness another victory for their col-
ors but alas they were doomed to dis-
api)ointment. This is the third consec-
utive victory for our coeds who are
playing excellent ball.
A large crowd attended the game
and excitement r.in higli because the
outcome of the game was not evident'
till the final whistle was blown. The
close guarding of both teams made a
high score impossible.
The game started with a rush and
the ball was kept in the Susquehanna
territory for some time. Then it was
played back and forth neither team
heins able to score. During the first
part of the .second quarter Susciuehan-
na secured one point on a foul which
was the first tally of the gome. Our
coed.s then succeeded in caging a two-
pointer which was quickly followed by
one by Lewisburg which brought the
first half to a close with tlie score 3-2,
The second half began with our
girls shooting two goals in succe.^^-
sion. Lewisburg repeated and for a
time things looked black for our las-
sies as Lewisburg kept the ball near
their basket, but thru the excellent
guarding on the part of Susquehanna,
Lewisburg could not get a chance to
[.shoot. Lewisburg failed to score after
this wliili' our coeds added six moro
points to their score. The Lewisburg
girls played a wonderful game and
their dribbling was remarkable.
Next Saturday our Coeds vill meet
Williarasport High School at Williams-
port.

THE REFORIWATION AND LUTHER
The Reformation of the Church in
the Sixteenth century constituted not
only a grand epoch in the history of
Christianity, but in the world. It was
a glorious revival of religion, litera-
ture, liberty, and all the best and
dearest interests of man. It was a
mighty revolution which changed the
entire character of the reIigiou.s and
political world. It overthrew princi-
plea long revered to be divine. It in-
troduced new modes of thought and
action. It created an extraordinary
excitement thruout the whole of
Europe. It agitated the learned in
the universities. It aroused the
nobles in the castles. It stirred the
monks In their cloisters, and it awoke
the populace in their homes.
Protestants maintained that Christ-
ianity was restored to its primitive.
Bcriptual simplicity and precepts and
ordinances of God were cleansed of
the excrescences that had been per-
mitted to grow upon them by the Re-
formation. The emancipation of the
Church of God from the bondage of
sin and Ignorance came with the
gloriouB Reformation.
The central figure in the Reforma-
tion was Martin Luther. We have
«een pictures of this man. We have
asked, are they correct portrayals of
the man? What did he look like?
How did he appear? These questions
are answered for us by Loescbci;. The
description of Luther by Loescher is
as follows: "This distinguished man
had naturally a sound constitution,
which was not easily affected even by
bis Indefatigable industry, and almost
OTcrwhelming. He was of moderate
height, full face and fresh complexion
Much labor and abstinence from gross
food sicmed to suit him best: thei
least indulgence s^oon made ^im sick.
He was of lively temperament, was ex-
ceedingly fond of music, in which he
produced many excellent compositions,
and played skillfully on the flute.
Ilia voice was penetrating and clear,
which rendered him a good alto sing
er in his earlier years. He had an
underlying love for the truth, an ex-
traordinary power in discovering and
defeuding it. There was an uncom-
mon transparency in his ideas and a
lingular felicity in expressing them,
BO that he threw the clearest light on
the darkest subjects, and removed the
thorns of subtlety as well as the
clouds and mist of confusion from all
matters which he undertook to illus-
trate. He had a rare faculty of rep-
resenting truth In the vigorous style,
most palpable manner: a remarkable
penetration into the ways of God and
the internal connection of things: A
heroic resolution to do and suffer
everything for the divine truth: a
cheerfulness to promote everything
useful and necessary and a wonderful
fortitude in resisting everything
which could lead him either to the
right hand or to the left." As Pro-
fessor Smith, formerly of Pennsyl-
vania College, puts it:
"His eye is mild, yet by its vivid
fire
The inward spirit's burning zeal
betrays:
A mind to think and do, and holy
Iro
At falsehood's reign, his lofty brow
displays.
When to a gentle smile his lips
unfold, -^
There's sweetness, kindness In his
radiant fane:
But when compressed, decision
prompt and bold,
And firmness naught can shake
assume their place.
But, hark! what voices ring around
him there?
Here praise, there execration rends
the air."
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF A
COLLEGE EDUCATION
(Continued from I'irst Page)
words he has attained prominence in
the reel of thought, having a mind
able to appreciate in a classical and
scientifc sense ideas and, jrenerally
s{)eaking, life. Again a mind so train-
ed has superior powers of analysis:
and can enable the possessor to ac-
complish that which would otherwise
be impossible. That is also a result
of the comprehensive Vay in which all
subjects are taught.
We, as those favored to obtain tlic
golden fruit of a college education,
need not meet certain necessary re-
quirements. As requisites are neces-
sary for the pursuance of certain
courses of study in the curriculum, so
it i^ also. necessary in order to attain
the laurels of a college education.
Tliere are two fundamental requisites
which are considered very essential.
The> are keeping a v.ell balanced in-
terest in college activities, and a dili-
gent, studious application to one's
studies. An earnest endeavor to meet
both these requirements will make the
road to the tree upon which hanss
the golden fruits of college attain-
ments one of profitableness and pleas-
antness.
Tlure is another condition which
niu.st be mentioned, and by many is
considered the best achievenient. The
superlative attainment atler such n
( o\irse as has been suggested, is a
II tt with character. Now a beautiful
character, one that is goini? to he
ri;;hily serviceable to oneself and ones
III ii!il)or, must have more than a na-
tural, physical, or intellectual undcr-
slandina:. The highest wisdom comes
'tium the God whom we worship in
.Fesus Christ; therefore, along with all
the achievements, the best is that one.
And towards this all others sliouUl be
diverted. So that in tiuth we may use
ihe iieliifvenients of a college educa-
tion to the glory of God: and for the
benefit of our fellowmen.

"Tom Sawyer"
Mark Twain's great boy character will be played by JACK PICKFORD.
It is a well-R'nown fact that Mark Twain would never allow his famous
book, "TOM SAWYER," to be dramatized, for the reason that he
thought it an impossibility to show the white town of Hannibal, Mo.,
drowsing in the sunshine by the sleepy Mississippi, and the thousand
and one details that make his picture so vivid. And indeed he was
right it was impossible to place all that on the narrow confines of any
stage, but many marvels have been accomplished through the medium
of the screen and the ail-seeing eye of te camera.

Wallace Reid
This Paramount actor appears here In "Nan of Music Mountain."
It's kind of a timely question right now to ask how you would like to
get married in the snow. You would if it was the girl, wouldn't you?
That's the way that Wallace Reid thinks in this gr?at picture of
mountain feuds and dazzling love. "Duke" Morgan did it. When de
Spain (Wallace Reid) finds out that his sweetheart's father was impli-
cated In the death of his own father and mother he is torn between

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The weekly meeting of the Y. M. C.
A. was led by Gortner. After singing
a number of inspirational songs, the
leader read from the first chapter of
the book of Daniel and Crossland led
'in prayer. Dr. Floyd spoke, using the
Scripture lesson as the basis of Jtis
talk, which in substance was as fol-
lows: Daniel, a captive in Babylon,
was chosen by the king to be prepared
for public life. He was trained in the
king's court and was fed with the
king's meat. But he and his compan-
ions wisely refused this food for a
more simple diet and at the expiration
of their training were found to be far
superior to the other youths taking a
similar training, Thi.s was their col-
ledge course. They were bright and the
best in the kingdom and were secur-
ing the best training for their future
public life. After graduation they
were appointed satraps over the pro-
vinces of the kingdom and over these
hundred-twenty-seven satraps were ap-
pointed three whom we may call com-
missioners. At the head of this trium-
virate was placed Daniel. He was the
most important commissioner of the
empire just as Joseph was the chief
food commissioner in the land of
J'nypt- Joseph originated the wheat-
less day way back in early historic
times. Both he and Daniel were train-
ed for their hiKh offices in the king's
court. After graduation all students
seek some station in life and in order
to be ready for it and be able to fill it
successfully he must be educated for
it. Moses, leader of his people, had
the best training tij^e land of Egypt
oould afford. Bes^^lps training a man
must have character. Daniel had
character. In spite of ^he den of lions
Daniel opened his window to^^ard
Jerusalem and prayed to the only true
God. The world is looking for charac-
ter. So let every man thoroughly
prepare himself and at the same time
develop and keep a clean, strong
character for in this manner only can
he succeed. The president announced
that there would be no meeting on the
next Tuesday evening but instead the
Y. M. C. A, would enjoy the first of
the lecture course in Seibert Hall.
PHILO
Philo met in postponed session |ast
Friday niglit. Because of a small
crowd and a much depleted program
Clio was adjourned to meet with
Philo and enjoy her program so that
Philo hall was well filled as was also
the program. Mr. Fisher read a
thoughtful and interesting essay. In
the declamation class Miss Jane Bots-
ford read a delightful little poem.
Miss Lulu Fetterolf substituted a
thesis for an original oration in this
class and received marked attention
for her brilliant production. Miss
Reinhold sang beautifully and was en-
cored. Mr. Wm. Docker presented the
current news in an original and spicy
manner and won much approbation
for his interesting delivery. In the'
select reading class Miss McCool won
fresh laurels for herself with her
usual entertaining reading. The Philo
was read by assistant editor. Miss
Salem. This number was marked by
its prevailent originality and timely,
witty jokes. The editorial was also
praiseworthy. For extempore speech-
es the president called upon Misses
McCool and Susan Rearick, whom she
introduced as embryo poets and whose
poem in a previous issue of The Sus-
quehanna sprang at once into popu-
larity. They each recited a short
poejn original with themselves for
which they received voluminous ap-
plause. The president then called on
Mr. Auman to sing the selection
which he had prepared for Clio's pro-
gram which he did quite beautifully.
Another performer on Clto's program,
Mr. Papenfus, was called upon to de-
liver his famous lecture on temper-
ance. His delivery was forceful and
dramatic and the audi^ce was greatly
moved by his eloquent logic and emo-
tional presentation but unfortunately
his voice failed him before he had
spoken a halt hour due to the great
srtain to which he has held his voice
night after night in his anti-booze lec-
tures. The meeting as a whole was a
huge success and every member of the
audience felt highly repaid for his
presence. The next meeting will be
the regular time for election and it is
desired that all loyal Philo members
be present to elect their favorite can-
didates to their respective ofllces.
THE WAR ROSARY
I knit, I knit,
I pray, I pray;
My knitting is my rosary.
And as I weave the stitches gray
I murmur prayers continually.
Gray loup — a sigh
Gray knot— a wish.
Gray row, a chain of wistful prayer
For thus to sit and knit and pray—
This is of war the woman's share.
And so I knit,
And thus I pray,
And keep repeating night and day.
May God lead safely those dear feet
That soon shall wear the web of
gray.
Now and again
A selfish strain?
But surely woman heart must yearn
And pray sometimes that she may
hear
The sound of footsteps that return.
But If— God,
Not that. But if
It must be sacrifice complete,
Then I will trust that afterwards
Thou wilt guide Home those prec-
ious feet.

sone by without seeing them. As t«
who is to lilanse' is not certain, but do
not the uijper classmen have some-

much the wearing of the cap, as that
it seems to show a lack of pep and in-

first that thi-, has been neglected.
Why not remedy is?
Many of the students are seriously

They e.xpeei to follow the example of

to become very popular on the part of

Those who v.cre in attendance at

of the most wonderful war lectiues
ever given. Dr. Blaisdell, of the Col-

subject of "Today's ratriolism," or
Culture and Kultur.
From positive fact and well corro-
boratated evidence he convicted Ger-
many of the most atrocious deeds.
From his son who was in that country
for several years previous to the war
and only left after the war began he
was able to learn many things which
could not be learned elsewhere. Dr.
Blaisdell is a v;ouderful speaker and

Kultur of ttie- Kaiser and the difference
was shocking. In comparing the mod-
ern Germans with the ancienl Huns
who overthrew Rome the ancient Ilun
was merciful, yet the whole world
knows of th.e ravages of Attila. Never
in the history of the world, even a-
among the savage races, has there
been a race cainparable with the mod-
ern Teuton in savagery.

Rev. C. P. Bastian will speak on the
very interesting subject "My Boy and

well as all who are interested in the
(Concluded at foot of next Column)
portant part of the library of every
alumnus. In aftei- years these books
are a source of nru.h uiformallon and
delight to the fon.ier student.
The book this :'ear is far superior
to those of former years. Tli(> staff
has profited by the experience of the
former staffs so that they arc better
able to put out a book. By combining
the best features of their books^they
have been able to publish a wonder-
ful book.
Among the many interesting things
in this years book is found an excel-
lent victurt of L"ra^ oii.squ.hani.a Unit
in which we as students are so vitally
interested. There are excellent pic-
tures of the college buildings and
views on the college campus besides
a great number of snapshots showing
the student life. All the classes of the
college are shown. Instead of the us-
ual method of single panels or groups
the pictures this year are mounted on
panels with two panels to a poee.
This adds a great improvement to the
appearance of the page. The calendar
is spicy and full of information and
will be a source of amusement for a
lifetime. All the writeups are excep-
tionally good and the book as a whole
is a masterpiece.
The book is bound in brown Luxo-
leather with the title stamped in gold.
j The paper is of a .special college
I enamel stock printed of special half-
; tone ink. Around each page is a gold
I liorder which adds to the attraciive-
ness ot the book.
: .\s the college year is closing so
I much before time this year it is neces-
sary to order the books now so that
j shipment can be made in good time.
I All orders must lie in by February
i l."j in order to insure you gi'tting a

tribution about April 15th.
The price of the books is three dol-

COOKE-POTTER
Miss Edith Davis Potter, daughter
' of Mrs. Albert W. Potter, of Selins-
I grove, was married at the home or
her mother here Wrdni sday at 11 a.
m., to Oakley Watts Cooke, of New-
ark, N. J., the ceremony being per-
formed by the Rev. Dr. John B. Focht,
of Trinity Lutheran Church, Selins-
grove.
Tlie bride was given in marriage by
her uncle. Miles I. Potter, of Middle-
burg, and was attended by her sister.
Miss Mary Marguerite Potter, as maid
of honor. M. CasewoU Heine, of New
York, was best man. :,:is«cs Elizabeth
and Frances \Vagen.= e!!er, both of
Selin.igrove, were ribbon beareis.
The bride was costumed in bride's
satin and chantilly lace, and carVied
a shower bouquet of bride's roses and
lillies of the valley. The maid of
honor wore a gray crepe de chine.
Mrs. Cooke was a graduate from
Susquehanna University with the class
of 1902, and continued her study of
Satiu-day night for t!u> first time!
this season our Co-eds wen- forced to
lu.Ue defeat when the fast Williams-
port High School team gave them the
short end of a "fj-Ol score. Tho our
girls played good ball they wer(> un-
able to win.
The game was fast from the very
start and Susquehanna was the first
to tally when Fetterolt made a won-
derful shot. Williamsport replied to
this with another after which both
sides scored alternatively so that at
the end of the half the score stood
9-9. All thru the first half both sides
giiarded closely so thai there was not
much chance to shoot and very hard
I playing resulted. Duiing this half
I Susquehanna made four goals while
I Williamsport made two goals and four
fouls.
I In the second half Susquehanna
I played extra hard and so fast that it
i was necessary to call time three ex-
; tra times which gave their opponents
three fouls. Up till the last few
minutes our girls were ahead and it "insic imder arti.^is in Philadelphia
was not till within three minutes of j and New York. She was head of the

THE YEAR BOOK
This week the members of the
"Lanthorn" staft will begin a big drive
to obtain subscriptions for the 1919
number. It is a big task which they
face this year in attemuting to keep
up the practice of former years and
they are to he commended on this ac-
tion. Prices have advanced consider-
ably, and the cost of production will
be greater in every way, l»ut tbiy are
willing to shoulder the responsibility
if you give them your support.
The prici- of the hook this year will
be only slightly higher than that of
previous years and any one will admit
that in ten years from now this book
will be invaluable to the owner. You
wouldn't sell yours for any money if
vou could not seeuic another one.
one of tln> most intciisling s-ls ol
games excr held in this lounliy. Al-
ready assurances ha\i' bei n iceiivr'!
from Yale, Harvard, Tiiiiecton, Cor-
nell, Chicago, and many other loHcges
that they will be representml. The
meeting will be especially interesting
this year becaTise of (be fact that the
coaches of the dilTcri'nt colleges find
themselves stripped practically of all
th(Mr star athletes. The general pub-
lic will go to the games eager to see
the scores of nmv stars that will shine
for tht- lirst time on the various
teams. Already we hear of new
phenomenons that the coaches are un-
earthing and as they will all work-
especially hard, there is no doubt that
the teams for the championship events
will be nearly if not *iuite up to the
standaid set in pre-War times.
The games will be held on Friday
and Saturday as usual. Last year, in
spite of the fact that war had been
di>clared only a short time previously,
there were over 300 teams in attend-
ance. At that time, many of the col-
leges with a mistaken idea of the im-
portance of college athletics in war
times, gave up all their sports ab-
ruptly but even with this handicap,
there were close to one hundred col-
lege teams at the Carnival. Since
then, most of the colleges that gave up
atheltics have resumed Intercollegiate
sport. For this reason and because
the coaches know that the athletes
must have some special incentive this
year, there shquld be an even larger
number of colleges on hand. The
Friday program will have as its special
attractions, the sprint distance and dis-
tance medley relays and the Penta-
thlon of All arovmd college champion-
ship. It is very probable that the
medley relay championship will this
It is tlie one record of your school | ^.^^.^j. j^^, ^.p,.^. popular. Enlstment has
cut down the track squads greatly and
though the colleges man find it diffi-
cult to get out strong teams for the
one, two or four mile relay cham-
pion.ship, they will probably be able
to get out medley teams as in these
races, they can use their fastest men
on the same team whether they be
^printers or distance men. With
Pennsylvania's famou.s all around ath-
lete. Berry, out of tin way, there will
no doubt be a host of candidates for
Pentathlon honors. On Saturday, the

long as you live. The pictures of
clubs, <lass< s, athletic teams, and col-
lege groups are somctliing that can
never be replaced in any other way,
and i!-. "I.anthorn" preserves them
for you as no other book can.
The problem of publishing a success-
ful year book cannot be understood
by any one not connected Avlth the
St a if, : c you have the easy part of it.
The editor promises us that the book
this year will bo entirely different
from that of previous years, and that one, two and four mile college relay
chamjiionships of America, the Fresh-
man one mile relay championship, the
high school and prepntatory school re-
lay championship and the special ev-
vn\n will be the main fralures. Penn-
sylvana's management also plan to
put on various Srrvice relays between
the Army and Navy camps that should
prove most interesting. In addition
there will be the various sectonal

PHILO ♦
Philo met in an interesting session
on Friday evening. The vice president
called the meeting to order. Mr. M.
A. Lecrone was initiated as an active
member. The program was somewhat
depleted but was rendered as follows:
Miss Fisher read a carefully prepared
essay. Miss Grossman dramatically
delivered a declamation showing gen-
uine presenting abilities. Miss Mow-
ror declamed also. Mr. Ulrich sang
beautifully and was encored. The cur-
rent news was well presented by Mr.
Kornman. Mr. Allbeck read "Philo."
It was a booze edition and his arrange-
ment of booze and liquor traffic and
his jokes were forceful, spicy and
timely. Mr. Faust and Mr. Kornman
each spoke extemporaneously. The
election resulted as follows: president,
Mr. Faust; vice-president, Mr. All-
beck; secretary. Miss McCool; editor.
Miss Evelyn Allison; assistant editor,
Mr. William Decker; critics. Miss
Dorothy Rearick and Mr. Staib; pian-
ist. Miss Reinhold; acceder, Mr. Baer;
monitor, Mr. Swanger. We are sure
these newly elected oiHcers will put
some new "pep" into Philo and tha^
the meetings will be more interesting
than they have been for some timj\

WHERE YOU'LL FIND
THE STATESMEN
You will find them playing checkers
at Slvinner's country .store, where they
munch at cheese and crackers while
the wintry blasts do roar. But altho
they chew tobacco and spit upon the
floor, yet they save the state and na-
tion at Skinner's country store.
There they talk much on the tariff,
on scandal.'; and on war. Oh, lord, but
don't they know a lot at Skinner's
country store? There's Squire Smith
and Deacon Jones, Bill Brown and old
Hank Young, who all declare in thun-
der tones, "The Kaiser should be
hung!"
There they talk of soaring prices of
bull beef and of pork, and talk some,
too, about T. R. at Oyster Bay, New
York. And they whittle with their
barlows at Skinner's country store,
where they carve the chair and nail
kegs and other things aglore.
But those wiseguys all are states-
men, at Skinner's country store, and
all the world they'll set aright before
the winter's o'er. So let us all be
thankful when peace doth follow war,
that all of it was brought about at
Skinner's Country Store.
Moral: If you think all our great
statesmen are the ones you read about
in the newspapers, you can bo con-
vinced of your error by calling at al-
most any cross-roads store on almost
any winter evening.

Tonight in S< :: .vt Hall the Bi'cond
number of the Y. M. C. A. lecture will
be given. At this time Rev, C. P.
Bastian will give his well-known lec-
ture on the interesting subject "My
Cey and I." This lecture is brimfuil
REV. C. P. BASTIAN
of interesting and important problems
on the most important subject of the
boy problem. Tlie boy problem is one
of the most vital problems before th"
minds of the people today and any in-
formation that can be gotten concern-
ing it should be grasped. Rev Bas-
tian has made a study of this topic
and is well fitted to expound it to the
country. He is a lecturer of note and
wherever he has gone he has met
with great favor. Anyone wjio hears
this lecture tonight will not be disap-
pointed. It is possessed of much in-
formation and considerable humor is
inteimixed. The lecture will begin at

cents.
Next Monday, February 18, the last
of the series will be held when Dr.
Byron W. King, of Pittsburgh, will
lecture on the subject "Pay Up or
Quit." Dr. King is one of the foremost
lecturers on the platform today and is
known thruout the- continent. He is
so widely knowii that we feel that it
is not necessary to say anything con-
cerning him. Everywliere he goes
large audiences greet him and we feel
eertain that the same thing will hap-
pen here. To be on the safe side you
should order your seats in advance.
I The price of admission will be fifty
cents. The sale of seats will begin
Wednesday at twelve o'clock and the
board will be placed in Bulick's

have Y. M. C. A. membership tickets
v.ill be admitted to the lecture but if
they wish to have reserved seats they
can secure same by payment of fifteen
cents.
LOCAL MINISTER GIVES HELPFUL
TALK BEFORE WEEKLY Y. M. C.
A. MEETING
"To waste is nothing short of crim-
inal."— Secretary of the Treasuiy Mc
Adoo.
The duty of tlie American people
to economize in consumption of food
and all other materials as well as
save money, can not bee too often or
too strongly urged upon them. The
duty is so imperative, its observance
.so viial to our country's success, that
it should be kept constantly befor"
them.
The proposition is plain and under-
standable. We have lessened the
productive powers of the country by
taking 2,000,000 men away from the
productive forces of the country; in
stead of producers! of one kind or an-
other the soldiers are consumers of
the products of our farms, factories,
and mines, and when the munitions
they expend and will expend against
the enemy is considered they are tre-
mendous consumers of the manufac-
tured products of the country.
A tremendous amount of the manu-
tacturing energy of the country has
been withdrawn from manufacturing
the things we use In peace and put
to manufacturing the things we use
in war. The total loss to the country
of the productive energy of our sol-
fliers and sailors and the diversion of
a great portion of the other produc-
tive energy of the country to war pur-
poses lessen to a great extent the
amount of material and supplies pro-
duced by the country.
To this condition of lessened pro-
duction and increased consumption of
and by our own men must be added
the extraordinary demand made upon
this countjy to supply the armies of
our allies and to a great extent their
population with food and other ma-
terial
We must meet the condition that
confronts us in two ways -by the
strictest economy in con.sumption for
every pound we refrain from using
adds a pound to be devoted to the uses
of our army and navy and the military
forces of our allies; and by speeding
up our production to the limit. The
American people are going to do all
that they know to be neces.Kaiy to win
this war— to shorten this war. They
have only to realize the imperative
duty of economy in saving and they
will economize and .save.
Tell me not in mournful numbei.s,
Of the grades in that last te.st
For my brain is dead and slumbers
And 1 was not at my best.
School is real, yes I'm in earnest,
Rut the grades' are not our goal
Rut they come in nil.e;hty handy,
Wlien you answer to ihr roll.
Let us then be up and dusting
With a candle sit im into
I Still be cramming still be ramming,
! Or a "flunk" will b. our fate.
The Y. M. C. A. lur.ting last Tues-
day evening wa^ in i.y Auman who
conducted the devotional exercises
[and introduced Rev. f'feif.r, the speak-
er of the evening. Tiu t,.,ik was very
helpful and inspirin-' lo all. The
speaker addressed r>in>t of his re-
marks to the pnmi.ii.ic.ial students.
After expressing hi;:, apjinriation of
the opportunity given hlni to again
meet with the .studeus h, .muted that
the fellows wiio got :iiio i!i.' active
ministry would find iiHmy kinds of
congregations but tb.ii ijiry should al-
ways remembei' ilmi a congvegntion
should be a force a; a not a field. It
is a force that he mr :! divd to make
the community a fii ;i i, u, Hvp and
to lead those who i\-^ nur t ini.siians
to the saving knov . i'lo of Jesus
Christ- as Savior of iiun. But they
will find that many i> ojdt' are only
nominal Christians. ;'r. .lohn on his
missionary journed i ct n man isiimed
Diotrephes, "who lo- ■ Mi lo havr the
preeminence among tiiciu." .Many i.eo-
ple seek preeminenc •. jhiI that they
miglit better serve 'li. jr fi'llowmen,
but for preeniineni\ ' .i • and like
Diotrephes might t ive said. "It i."
right for me to seek preeminence,"
Judas had his heart set on money.
He might have said "It is right for
me to seek money," The following
story was used to illustrate. All was
quiet on the money rack when the
dollar lifted up il.s head and said,
("Behold? I am the alniishty dollar. All
you other coins are of no account."
There was silence again for a few
minutes. Then the penny down in one
corner spoke up. "You may l)e big
but you are not good for I go to
church more than you do." Money is
the prime object of many people's
lives, and they can see nothing but
this world. Like Denias they might
say, "It is good for me to love this
present world." But David the good
king might easily be made say. "It is
good for me to be near to God." That
was his desire and should be the de-
sire of all men, Wf should get near-
er to God with our liearls and our
hands. We may get closer by reading
and meditating on the Scriptures.
The nation called to war and millions
answered at once. But the churchi is
ever calling to a grander, nobler work
and a few faithful souls re,>^pond. Let
many answer the great call of the
church and fight under the banner of
the cross as now many are serving
under the glorious stars and stripes.
The president announced the lec-
ture for next Tuesday evening thai
will take place of the regular Y. M. C.
A. meeting. Rev. C. P, Bastian, of
Charleroi, Pa., will lecture on the sub-
ject, "My Boy and 1."
COEDS DEFEAT LEWISBURG BY
LARGE SCORE ON FOREIGN FLOOR
Girls Again Mete Out Defeat to Fast Team
From Lewisburg. Score 25-9. Great
Game. Lock Haven Next
The statesmen of the world must
plan for peace and nations must adjust
and accomodate their policy to it as
they have planned for war and made
ready for pltiles.s ((ai'iHt and rivalry.
\^'odorow Wilson.
"Were ihey able to repeal? Tliey
most certainly were. Not only repeat
but a double r( sieai."
Our co-eds, ji\ a stii-ring ,t;ame at
Lewisburg .-'aiiiKiay night defeated
the team from tlial place- by the de-
cisive score of 2," 9. Two weeks ago
in Alumni gyinnasiuni 'his same team
was beaten 1:1 G and ii v a.-^ the great
hope of all tlinf tlie nick might be re-
peated. Tho everyone v,as earnestly
hoping thai v, e wouii] v, .n >et it came
as a great tlio very agreeable sur-
prise when we lie.'iid tliai our girls
had won. E.\ciienieiu luis been run-
ning high ever since th(> other game
and the imeresi .•--hown by the stu-
dents no doulit was (juiie a help to
the players. A nuie.ber of studi-nts
accompanied Mie team to Lewisburg
and assisted them by (hecrin.g.
The gami> was fast from the start
tho it was noi lon.g in uou1)t who would
be the victors. Soon afier the game
started Fetterolf scored a coal wliicli
was followed in .-lort cder by a foul
and a goal 1. . ' ir.;,. Another '/-'.:!
was secui-ed which made liie score G
lietore Lewisburg .-^et ured a point.
Then on fouls they secured three
points whil(> our lar-sies were adding
one more goal. Oiuing th(> remainder
of the half Lewiolnirg was able to se-
cure a goal and Susquehanna three
fouls, making the score at the end oi
the half ll-.'j.
Second half opened v. iih several
ncw^ faces in the LewisburR line-up
and these strengthened the team con-
siderably. But the fact that they
were behind weakened the morale of
the team while our team were helped
by the same fact.
Fetterolf .soon seemed two more
goals and Woodruff shot two fouls
and in the same time the opponents
secured four points. Then substitu-
tions were made in our line-up and
the game started up again taster than
ever. In close su((e.«sion Fetterolf
ba,gged two more Loals. Woodruff on"
,1,'oal and two fouls. This brought the
same to an end with the score 2.'')-9
and our lassies on ilu- long end,
Never before have our sirls showed
such remarkebb' jiiaying as they did
Saturday night. A;;aiiist such wonder-
ful team work and excellent .shooting
no team could long stand. They
were invincible.
The treatment accorded the team by
the Lewisburi^ oltieial. was very good
and everyone was f;tiislied. The stu-
dent body can well be jiroud of this
wonderful team which is representing
Ihein on the floor this .\ear and all
should turn out to ;;11 games and
show their ai)preciatlon of their ef
forts.
During the k niaiiuii ,■ el the season
we have foui' ganie^-- at home. Next
Saturday we play Lock Haven and we
are going to win that game. The fol
lowing Friday Williainsiiort, the only
team that lias ueieated us ihi;, year,

game will be an important one. We

WASTED TIME
A great deal of time is wasted by
the average college student. It will
not be expected that the young poi-
son at school will waste no time, for
if there is ever a time of little luxu-
ries, it is while at college. With train-
ing, there is as a part of college life,
a joyous, carefree attitude that is
hound to express itself, and most often
this expression will come as time
fooled away. But the average .stii
dent wastes entirely too much time.
It is not' a matter of a relaxation
from study, but the ub.solute loos of
several hours each day. There is
practically no one who does not rea-
lize this, hut very few students are
making an effort to do something bet-
ter with this time.
youisi-if very advquately upon a lojiic
in the time you waste in a semester.
To several, school work is not parlieu
iaily !iii)(l, and these can c;!^ !l.\ do
added v:ork, pwrhaps to finish n 1'-^

CLIO
The Clionian Literary Society met
in regular se.ssion last Friday even-
ing. It was well attended. A girl's
program was rendered, which delight-
ed all present. The program thruout
was a splendid demor.stration ot the
talent ot the female members of Clio,
it being instructive as well as enter-
taining.
Miss Sigworth read an essay on
"Food Control," in which she proved
herself an ardent advocate and sup-
porter ot the theories of Mr. Hoover.
Mr. Rine acting as substitute made a
great hit with the audience by the
reading of two poems "The Fool" and
"He Sleeps In the Valley Tonight."
Miss Steffen proved her ability as a
performer and showed her excellent
judgment by a very select reading.
Miss Adams rendered several selec-
tions on the piano quite beautifully
for which she received a hearty en-
core. A very timely and Instructive
essay on Science and Modern Warfare
was read by Miss Hoffer.
The president called upon Mr. Au-
man, as extempore to speak upon S
In such a time of conservation as |
this, time that is oidinarily wa.sted '
should be saved. While saving our
coal, and decreasing the power used
by street cars, and using less sugar,
and numerous other little requests of
our government, why not put our was-
ted time to a better use? As college
students we have been asked to .sacri-
fice a little, and we have responded
quite freely, but is it not possible to
economize on the hours of the day?
This would not be merely a measure
for the government in this period of
war, but would be a distinct advantag'^
to us as individuals.
There are a great many things that
we might do, which would he of direct
benefit to us, whether we later find
ourselves in tlie army or not. If a
man knows that in a year or pcrhap.^
In two years he will be in tlu' army,
he can do both himself and liis gov
ernmcnt a favor by getting ready. Ho
may be able to learn to use the (di-
graph key. lie may be able to spend
more time in the laboratory. ir«' may
Improve his French or take iidvuiice
work in mathematics. It will not mean
tarrying extra hours, but devoting a
few hours to this new hobby. If, be-
cause of disability, there is linb-
chance of entering the army, a per-
son can prepare for greater useful-
ness In some business line. To a gieat
many, knowledge of typewriting and
shorthand would be an assrt. Ttr-
haps some could profit with a business
course. Or the intensive study of a
certain machine or proccs.s would bo
a great vr.lue to one planning to en-
ter a manufacturing circle. And to
another large class, those preparing
to teach, there comes a similar call.
Why not further prepare yourself by
a little added work outside of your
regular elassi"-'' You might Inform
U's. response to the coimtry's call,
which he did very ably and effectively.
The Clio Herald was read by assist-
ant editor Cole and was much appre-
ciated for its richness of thought,
originality and spicy jokes.
The program for next Friday even-
ing will be rendered by the Theo-
logucs. It is of an exceptional char-
acter and promises a great literary
treat. Clio Hall should be filled to
its extremity.

L. A. BENSON — SELINSGROVB
A number of students, mostly ol
the Amason sex, accompanied the
team to Lewisburg Saturday night. A
IVw males fussers were along, also.
The trip was greatly enjoyed by all
of the aforementioned persons. They
left Selinsgrove at 4:30 p.m., got a
sandwich apiece in Sunbury and then
hin-riedly left for Lowishurg. About
five of the crowd tried their best to
get lost there and one girl even ac-
costed a man and inquired where he
got bis carpc-t bag. ' Coach thought
the girls were dressing for a party
from the time it took them but finally
they were ready and went to the
Bueknc^ll gym where they cleaned up
Iheir opponents. The rooters rooted,
too. altho some preferred to lliil.
A1'l<r the game the gang went to Mil-
Kiu to eaich the flier and during the
two liotus wait there amused them-
sc^lves falling around on the pave-
ments and getting some real eats and
then giving some yells and songs for
tilt' public's benefit at the station.
fUit the train came and hauled the
bunch, even lonely Pompier, to Sun-
bury and a special car met them there.
Jess almost lost her purse. Pompier
lost his girl and Coach came oft with a

This commit tie is cliarged with ar-

and actions whereby the General
Snyod, the General Council, and the
United Snyod in tlie South, can
finish all their work iuid then di.s-
i^olve and join in forming The United
1 Lutheran Cliurch in America.
A.s this will mean the merging of
variou.s hoards with large and varied
interests, and the uniting of forty-
seven synods into one body of nation-
al and even world-wide scope, the
problems the committee has to solve
are quite intricate. .There are eight
men from the General Synod, eight
from the General Council, and five
from tl-.e Unit(>d Synod on this coin-
:nlttt>e.
Tlie merger will not affect the ex-
isinnce of any (>stahlis;hecl scliool, l)ut
will give all Ltiilicran interesl.s a wid-

it is a matter of satisfaction to
•Susquehanna that one of her teaching
staff is a part of this very important
cummiltee.
Quite often we see notices on the
hiillrtin hoard of articles lest by the
dilTi rent students. I'^ountain pens,
key.s, sweaters, and lately a .gold
watcli liave been some of the articles
nunlioned. Surely the person or per-
sons finding such articles know tliat
they slionld be retni'ned. Are the find-
ers ignorant of tire riglitful owners of
the articles lost, or is it plain theft?
We have military training at Sus-
quehanna for the fellows, every Wed-
n.;(!ay at 4 p.m. It i.s a good ihing.
hut one of the rcQuircmcntK of ruLli-
tary discipline is punctuality. Yet
every Wednesday there are some whfi
come in as much as twenty minute?
late. This is not entiiely tliejr fault,
as often jirofessors having three

overtime. Why not make it a point to
dismiss classes at 4 p.m. prompt, at
least every Wednesday?

I We are sincerely hoping for more of
i them, and also a continuation of tlicm
too, for then we feel iissiired that icy
entrances and unshovded walks will
not be able to withstand the strain,
and students can then walk around
school ie'eling more secure from tuni-

Last Thursday mornnig some of oui
fair co-eds created quite a sensation in
chapel, by introducing a new Parisian
style in coiffeur. Many jealous glances
were cast heir way. But this was all
eliminated at dinner time, when it
was quite noticeable that one of the
ladies with the new style, quite for-
got hei- niani\ers, and ate potpie and
heets Willi her knife. This is quite a
dangerous performance, and we would
suggest the using of the fork.

INTERESTING SKETCH OF JOUR-
NEY OF OUR BOYS TO THE
LAND "OVER THERE"
f 1,
I'a., wliere he is doing very successful
work for his Master.
His lecture was strikingly practical
in form and material, and showed
careful and hitensive sludy of his sub-
ject. His presentation of the boy prob-
lem as related to the present crisis of
our nation was unique and tinifiy. A
pleasant^ minisierial stylo character-
ized his lecture, mixGd here and there
with bits of real, lively humor that
conipletely captivated his audience.
Sympathy for the boy with a bad
father, indignat;ou at the common in-
justice committed agamst the youth,
approval for the proper treatment of
boys and mirth at the humorous tricks
and p_]-anks of all f)oys. all those feel-
ings he aroused and swayed intermit-
tently by his eloquent, practical and
witty presentation of the life of a boy.
His illustrations, so clearly portrayed
and often so humorously, were inci-
dents in his own boyhood or that of
his boy and were not peculiar to them
but to all real, live, active boys.
Anecdotes and reminiscences of his
boyhood and college life he vividly
narrated greatly to the delight and
mirth of the audience. Even if judged
from the aspect of entertainment this
lecture deserves unlimited commenda-
tion and praise and furnished much
pleasant and helpful diversion. But
this was only the minor side of it.
For parents and students of eugen-
ics and even all students who wili
some time in their lives be responsi-
ble for the lives of some young per-
son, cither their own child of a
charge, this lecture wi.s an invaluable
help. It aroused thought and present
ed many of the practical and everyday
principles for the treatment and prop-
<'r discipline, of the boy. The lecture
laid down some fundamental princi-
ples incident to the life of every boy.
He laid the responsibility upon the
fathers to be a companion and teacher
for his boy and placed the blame for
many ruined lives on the unrighteous-
ness of the fathers. He stated that as
long as the father smokes he has no
moral right to forbid the son to smoke
and can by no means of logic expect
him not to follow his father's steps. Hp
protested against the policy of some
families to forbid parts of the house
to the children and of not giving them
rooms of their own and making it at-
tractive to them so that the children
did not want to stay at home but pre-
fered to roam the streets or spend
lime and will give his services to look
after the religious side of a soldic r',
life.
D^. Leonard gave a very interesting
talk which was heard wijh interest ly
all present. It is a grief to have Dr.
Leonard depart from us but sinr(> 1,
is going in this noble work we all wi;;li
him God-speed and trust that we may
be able to welcome him back after the
war, with all its terrors, is over.

Rev. David A. Day, D.D., was one of
the best known of the many useful
and widely known men who studied
in Missionary Institute, since 1894
Susquehanna University.
He had charge of the Muhlenberg
Mission in Liberia, Africa, for twenty
three yeara. His body, with that of
his equally devoted and heroic wife,
lies in thf beautiful God's acre above
the University.
He was born February 17, 18.51. His
Bible, which he used for many years,
was recently sent from Muhlenberg
Mission to be deposited among tiie

OUTCLASSED
The devil sat by the Lake of Fire,
On a pile of suphur kegs;
His head was bowed upon his breast.
His tail between bis legs.
A look of shame upon his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes.
He had sent his resignation
To the trpne up in the skies.
"I'm down and out," the Devil said,
He said it with a sob;
"There are others that outclass me.
And 1 want to quit my job.
Hell i.-^n't in wilh tlie land
That lies along the Rhine;
"I'm a 'has been' and a 'piker',
And therefore I resign.

And the army on the Rhine,

But I feel I'm not up-to date
In the art of running hell."

"Tried by fire," the crucible of the
Metallurgist yields the precious metal.
The Intense heat of the furnace drives
off the dross and the impurities.
With each repeated heating the metal
become.s purer until at la.st the ingot
of gleaming gold rewards the pains-
taking effort.
"Tried by fire," the fire of war, the
crucible of democracy is yielding forth
a better, truer Americani.=!m. All na-
tions and races are in the flux, the
untrue, the false, the disloyal must all
pass away— driven off by the heat of
aroused patriotism. America is pass-
ing thru the testing and the result
will be, we believe, a homogeneous,
better people. Truly an ingot to
please the Master Metallurgist.
"Tried by fire," the American Col-
leges are in the testing. Each col-
lege and university man must bring
his talent of gold to the great "melting
pot of the nations." There in the
great crucible its wonh will be prov-
en. It your talent going to stand the
test of life? Has the laboratory of
college purified and increased those
natural talents nature granted you?
Can your talents stand even the fire
of college life?
"Tried by fire," the Susquehanna
student is being tested. Each brought
to college the persoanl crucible filled
with nature's gift. The fire of col-
lege life, the testing of friendships,
the power of opportunitie.'^ won or neg-
lected, the searching heat of examina-
tions have melted, fu.^ed the mass.
The weak, the inefllcient portion.^
have sublimed into the vapidness
from which they toolr form. What
remains should bear the test of time
and the world. But how much re-
mains for you? What have j-ou put
into the crucible of your life? Tjnless
the metallurgist put gold bearing
earth or ore there will be no residue,
no ini;ot, no gleaming gold to reward
him. Too many college men and wom-
en today are spending their time
searching for the beauMful pebbles on
the "sands of time." Too many have
made collections of pretty shells,
whose iridescent tintj will fade with
the first blast of heat. Too many
have sought and found the "fool's
gold" that yields but the fumes of
sulphur. Too many have filled their
lives with the gossamer, spider web of
dreams gleaming with the dewdrops
of Imagination — th« first rays of the
light of reality will destroy all that.
Many tho hHv<» added greatly to their
life's cni< ibl<', Much of this may be
worthless, li HJncere effort has been
there the "yellow gleam" will come.
All hav>' add' d to tlie talent given
them and as each passes from class
10 class the amount grows steadily.
i*'inally, the senior brings his talent to
receive the stamp of the school, th^'
mark of his quality.
"Tried l)y fire," Dk fire of lite.
There comes the teat. Will his little
l)ar of gold bear up in the great fur-
nace of life? Will it be true to its
stamp of quality? Will the "acid test"
of time merely increase its brightness?
If Susquehanna stands for anything it
should. If the students today are real
men and women their talents will not
only stand the test but they will be
able to add to them all their lives and
thus increase the total of gold in the
great crucible for the Master Metal-
lurgist.
CHARACTER
There is a structure which every
person is building, young and old,
each one for himself. It is called
character, and every act of life is .\
stone which aids in the building of
this structure, but as one leak will
sink a ship, so one mean dishonorable
act or word will forever leave its im-
press and work its influence on our
characters.
Our minds are given us, but we
make our characters; our mental pow-
ers must be cultivated. Plant a hand
full of seeds and tend them well and
they will make an orchard; cultivate
the powers and harmonize them well,
and they will make a noble character
A good character is a precious thing,
above rubies, gold crown, or king-
doms, and the work of making it is
the noblest labor on earth.
Every man is bound to aim at the
possession of a good character, as one
of the highest objects of his life. The
very effort to secure it by worthy
means will furnish him with a motive
for exertion, and his Idea of manhood.
in proportion as it is elevated, will
steady and animate his motive.
The value of character is the stand-
ard of human progress. The individ-
ual, the community, the nation, tells
its standing by Us estmiation of chai-
acter. That man or nation, who or
which lightly esteems character is
low, groveling, and barbarous. Just as
a man prizes his character, so is he.
This is the true standard of a man.
Sum it up, then, as we will, char-
acter is the great desideratum of hu-
man life. This truth is the highest
lesson of religion, the first that youth
should learn, the last that age should
forget.— The Augustaan.
WE WILL SEE THIS THRU
Wc are in the war to win, and
thereby to put an end, we hope for all
time, to the horrible threat levelled
against modern civi'ization by the
German Government. We must win;
we must have no other thought. De-
feat would mean the destruction of
everything enlightened statesmen
philanthropists, churchmen and pat-
liots, including our own beloved fore-
fathers have struggled for down thru
the ages. Victory in this var will
establish liberty and peace on a sure
foundation for our descendants. They
will not have to suffer as we suffered.
But to win requires something more
than mere declarations It requires
longsustalned cooperative, concen-
trated effort on the part of all of us.
It requires great sacriflcea, not re-
luctantly and grudgingly, but cheerful-
ly and willingly. It lequlres loyalty
in thought, In word and in deed. Let
us send our young men to the battle-
field with the firm assurance that be-
hind them is a great nation united in
their support. Such an assurance will
sustain and Inspire them and make

j which (onsJHlrd of Drumm, Rine,
Brown, Weaver, Ard, Harkins, Brown,
Shannon and Middlesworth, with
Keamerer as their able leader and
director. This selection was entitled
"Where oh where, have the co-eds
sone." They were encored and sang
the same selection backward. The
extempore on "the necessity of in-
tensive farming" by Drumm was of a
more serious nature and was ably per-
formed. Then followed the debate
which proved to be the most interest-
ing, most comical, and best perform
ed debate of the year "Resolved that
it is a greater sin for a hen to lay an
egg on Sunday than to carry it over
till Monday." It was supported on the
affirmative by Shatmon and Brown W.
and on the negative by Ard and Wea-
ver. The affirmative strongly debated
their side from a moral and scientific
standpoint, while the negative came
back forcibly from the economic and
patriotic standpoint. The rebuttals
were full of pep and Ard in his final
appeal took such an eloquent flight
of oratory, so aesthetic, so impressive,
that when the final decision of the
judges came the verdict was in favor
of the negative.
Then followed a comic monologue
by Rine on "Bachelorhood" in which
he appeared on the stage in full
bachelor costume. His performance
was good and he succeeded many
times in provoking his hearers to
laughter. Then came what was un-
doubtedly the crowning feature of the
evening, the darky sketch by Keam-
erer and Lutton. This was a scream
from beginning to end and the per-
formers surely showe(' their extra-
ordinary ability in reproducing the
original art and tactics of the negro.
Then followed a vocal solo accom-
panied with a guitar by Lutton. This
was entitled "Face to Face."
The Herald was read by Harkins
who changed its name to "The Blade"
on account of its cutting remarks.
The Sem. chorus then rendered an-
other selection entitled "Its the wrong,
wrong way to treat the co-eds." They
sang as an encore "Good night ladies."
The meeting was closed by singing
hymn No. 189.
The program as a whole was consid-
ered the best and most entertaining
that has been rendered in Clio for
many months and the theologs deserve
the commenadtion of all for their ex-
cellent work. We feel sure that the
absent ones missed a treat the like of
which they may not be permitted to
witness for days to come. The con-
spicious absence of the female portion
of Clio surely was without cause as
nothing was said or even hinted at
that might have possibly touched the
modesty of the most - fastidious.
Thanks to the theologs.
R. F. A.
CLIO NOTES
Clio's crowning achievement for the
winter term was rendered on Friday
evening before a most appreciative
audience by the theologs. The meet-
ing was opened by singing hymn No.
104. Due to the absence of the regu-
lar pianist, Mrs. Elmer Brown con-
sented to officiate at the piano. Th-i
religious exercises were conducted
by the chaplain, Glmer Drown. James
Shannon, secretary pro tern, then cal-
led the roll and read the minutes. The
regular program was opened very
eomemndably by the Sem. chorus,
The strength of a nation, we well
know, is measured not in terms of
wealth or volume of poplation, but
love of truth and courage to defend it.
We are strong In this war in precise
proportion to our determination to
banish autocratic greed and injustice
from the earth. — Joseph Daniels.

I'liilo met for a short session last \
Friday night. The proerani was some-
what depleted because of the special
program at Clio but the society, decid-
(h1 to proceed with the program rep-
resented which was an follows: Miss
Speiglemire declamed "Brady's Goat"
in a very entertaining and di-amatic
manner. An oration entitled "How
Can Germany Hold Out?" was read by
Miss Marion Weaver find was quite np
to date and interesting. Mr. Swange •
read tlie current new.- in a very ac-
cej)tal)!e manner^ Mr. Wm. Deckei |
edited "Philo" and read an interesting
edition. His editorial was especially
worthy of comment. On the extem-
pore das.s-- .Mr. Weible rendered some
delightful selections of ragtime on
the piano and was encored. No other
classes on the program were filled
and the debate was excused by th<>
(•hair. We hope that the next meeting
will lie better attended and ir fuller

SELINSGROVE, PA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1918
NUMBER 20
DR. BYRON W. KING PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE WITH LECTURE
Seibert Hall Filled to Capacity to Hear
Noted Lecturer Speak on Subject "Pay
Up or Quit
•- ♦♦
Biggest treat lor years. That wag
the sentiment expressed by all who
were privileged to hear Dr. Byron W.
King last Monday evening .when hp
lectured in Seibert Hall on tj^e sub
ject "Pay Up or Quit."
From bogiuninc; to end he held the
audience in breathless silence as ho
discussed his uubject as a master. lie
truly was master of his subject and
expounded t so clearly and forcibly
lliat all were enraptured in it. After
his regular talk he gave a brief dis-
course on the war conditions and
showed up conditions in the wartorn
countries in a most vivid way. Thru-
out his lecture he had full controll of
of the feelings of the audience and
could cary them with hirti as he willed.
Iir. King came to Selinsgrove in
I he morning and in the afternoon gave
two very interesting talks to the stn-
"dents. At two o'clock he spoke to the
college students in Science Hall and
at three o'clock he addressed the theo-
logical students. In these talks he
.showed very clearly . the value of
clear speech in ibe life of tod-^y and
also to what extent the voice could be
trained.
Dr. King is a master in his line and
has loyJil followers thruout the coun-
Iry. He travels from coast to coast
giving his lectures and we feel very
fortunate in securing a date with him
here. By many he is considered one
of the greatest men in the country and
as he was see^ here fulfilled all ex-
pectations. There was no one disap-
pointed in him and many are regret
ting that they did not hear him and
get in to contact with him. It was an
honor to the school to have a man of
his merits in her midst.
This Ucture was the last of the Y.
M. C. A. series. We feel that they
have been a benefit to the college and
the community. By having such a
diversity of subjects we hoped to meet
the demands of more people and we
feel that we have done it. The bene-
fit cannot be definitely known but it
is doubtless considerable. We think
all who helped make this course pos-
sible.
THE SOCK KNITTING ROSARY
The hours I spend on thee, dear sock
Are as a string of pearls to me,
1 count them over by the weary clock.
My Rosary, My Rosary!
First two I knit, then two I purl,
And round the leg I slowly reel—
My joyful praises to heaven I hurl
I've reached tlue heel.
Oh, knotted ends that scratch and
burn
Oh, stitch that dropped— uneven row!
I kiss each blight and strive at last
to learn
To reach the toe, O Lord, to reach
the toe.— Collegian.
FIELD SECRETARY NOTES
It has been a long, long time since
we had the privilege of speaking a
word to our young friends thru the
columns of this interesting journal.
We are ..flying from place to place.
Aiightiijg for a day or so, we eagerly
.seek the current i.s.'-.ue of Susquehan-
na and hungrily devour the news frtsm
class room and campus.
There has been a place every Sun-
day since tlio opening of the current
school yoar for us to toll the Htory of
Susquehanna. We have been in many
great cities, as well as in small towns
and rural sections. The people all
look alike to us. There are but a few
differont temperaments and we meet
the same people over and over again.
It is our good fortune to meet only — or
in the main — the good people. Sus-
quehanna is an "open sesame" to
hearts and homes wherever we go.
We have worked this fall and winter
in Altoona, Williamsport, Harrisburg
York, Philadelphia, Trenton, Nov."
York, Baltimore, Washington and
mnny o'.her communities. It was our
recent privilege to hear Billy Sunday
in Washington, D. C. We attended
four services — one afternoon and three
evening. The Washington campaign
is a very quiet one, as such things go
with the great evangelist. The paper.*
are not featuring his meetings. There
is no organized opposition. Still the
attendance in the wonderful tabern-
acle is largo and there Is much enthus-
iasm among the churches supporting
the movement.
These notes leave our hands Feb-
ruary 23, from Blain, Perry county.
Pa., where we have been for a week.
It has been a rare pleasui-e to work
with Pastor Reighard and his good
people. This faithful little town is
inhabited by splendid folks, many of
whom are most loyal to Susquehanna.
This is the home of Rev. John Har-
kins, who graduates from our Iheo-
logicel department this spring. Here
lives Miss Leah Smith, one of our most
promising music students. James
Neidigh is from this coBiniunity. Ho
is a good student in tho sophomore
class. Other students have been
with us in the past from this place,
among them the pastor's daughter-
Miss Mary. II was fine to meet the
parents of those young friends and to
hear them speak so highly as they did
of the school.
Susquehanna has groat boosters in
Blain in the persons of Prof. Newton
Kerstetter and wife (Miss Minerva
Snyder), both Susquehanna peoplo.
•Prof. Kerstetter is the principal of the
high school, and under his direction
great progress is being made.
We hope that every member of tho
senior class in college and seminary
will become members of our Christ-
mas Club. See us as to this.
C. R. BOTSrORD,

reported to be vei'y humorous. Pro-
fessor Keener is playing the title role

The play is full ol' humor from be-
ginning to end. Ono laugh follows an-
other thruout, and the whole is a roar-
ing comedy. If you have the blues o.'
the down in the mouth or if there is
anytlving elae wrong with you you
must be sure to attend the play as it
will be a sure cure for all such ail-
ments. If you enjoy a good laugh and
are in for ;: good time, you will be
tliore sure for it will be the biggest
time, of your life. No matter whether
you are happy or sad, gay or melan-
cholly, the play is the thing for you
and you must not miss it. If you do
you will regret it all the rest of your
earthly existence. Preparo to attend
it!
Tlio linu! is not definlloly fixgd a.'=
yet but the plans aie to hold it eilhoi'
March 5th or 12lh ,ind the place will
be "The Movies" Watch the bulletin
boards, The SoHnsiyove Times, and
The Susquehanna for further notices
concerning this play.
A LETTER FROM WM. T. HORTON
Registrar Horlon sends another in-
teresting letter from Monrovia, Cali-
fornia.
Because of tho many interesting
trips that I havt' boon taking thru this
beautiful count ly, I almost forgot my
promise.
After leaving Chicago the weather
was somewhat milder, but all along the
route passing thru Illiriois, Iowa, Mis-
souri, Kansas, Te:cas, Now Mexico, ancl
Arizona, we found they were having
severe cold weatlur. Many htmdrods
of cattle perished because of having
no shelter and scarcity of grain.
It was my pleasure to meet quite ^
few of the big men of the cattle rais-
ing districts who had been east dis-
posing of their stock. They tell us
that it has been the worst year in
their time to care for and market their
great herds.
Seeing the citie.s with their great
industries all along the way, was a
fullfillment of my wishes for many
years. I learned to know the poopb^
on our coach and found them to l)o ii
jolly bunch. This made it very pleas-
ant for me, and after crossing the
California line, I began to realize that
W(> wore coming into the promised
land.
Tho fii.si .stop was Needles, and bu-
lievo me I was overjoyed and I wished
that all of our loved ones in the east
could see and experience the wonder-
ful change.
With best wishes for all, •
I remain. Yours very truly,
WM. T. HORTON.
It's all riKht to marry for love, but
money makes liip martj go.
COEDS DEFEATED AGAIN BY
WILLIAMSPORT HIGH SCHOOL
For Second Time This Season Girls Forc-
ed to Lower Colors to This Fast Quintet.
Milton Next Saturday
Our co-eds nu't defeat for the fir.-^t
time this season on the home floor,
when they were forced to bow to tho
Williamsprt team in a hard fought
game. The store was 21-7. Thus fvv
our co-eds hav im I with only two do-
I'uats, both at " ; '..s of llie lassi'-^s

our girls lost : '.in tl);'ir floor by
a close score and on Saturday night
local fans Hve;.' ■ - iiueh surprised to
see their fa\ ..k( n into ca.nip
by the visitois. AVilliamspcrt present-
ed a wonderful team, l)y far the be.-t
that ever appeared lu>ro. It was a
much stronger team than tho one
played abroad. Their team work was
marvelous and their remarkable shoot-
ing caused the downfall of our team.
Our girls played hard and deserve
credit for the gritty fight they put up
but it was beyond them to hold the
visitors in check. The battle had to
,^0 to the strong. So closely were our
lassies guarded that they were only
able to ca.ge one goal, while the vIk-
itors by clever short passing were
able to cage nine. The visitors were
exceptionally well trained and sliowed
extraordinary endurance.
While We are son\ lo liave lost this
game, any one who saw it will not lay
any blame on our team, fhey iought
hard but were overpower (i.

THE ROAD TO VICTORY
For the present there is scarcely
anything so important to the Allied
Cause as a little healthy possimism, a
readiness to believe that the best is
not inevitably true, and that tho worst
is a possibility, that the Allies are
not necessarily invincible nor the Gei-
mans yet willing to admit that they
are beaten. The truly, import ant thing
is not the opinion of the people about
the progress of tho war, but the ini
portance which they attach to its ob-
jectives, their determination to win
them. The gravity of the present
crisis will in no way i.hake the deter-
mination of the American peoplo. V
will steel their hearts, rouse their
courage, deepen, their conviction in th*'
necessity of victory. Only one thin;^
can cause the Alied defeat — a failure
of conviction on the part of the Brit-
i.'h, French and .American peoplo of
the greatness of demceracy, of tho
splendor of the moral crusade upon
which they have enlisted, of the ne-
cessity of victoiy to make tho world
safe for democracy.
—Roland O. I'sher.
1919 LANTHORN
The last part of tho 1919 Lanthorn
goes to press tomorrow and the orders
ought to be in this week. If you want
a copy you must give your order to
the management at once as no extra
copies will bo ordered. Attend to
this at once or you nuiy bo disappoint-
ed.
There is a truth hidden under the
old legend; Hope retained strengthens
man to endure and preserve in the
rush and wear, the loss and overflow
of life. The best laid plans so sadly
fail; the unexpected thwarts desire
and endeavor; forces seen and unseen
contend for the mastery. But to the
on(^ who with purpose true and cheer-
ful heart fights the battle of life, hop-
ing in the darkest hour, a victory is
sure. It was hope that nerved the dis-
coverer to find this great land, thu.^
silencing the sneers of the rich and
mighty, and demonstrating his own
theory. It was hope that helped the
great commander to win his battles
against fearful odds. It was hope that
strengthened the burdened President
to carry the weight of war and cal-
umny, of innumerable oflicial duties,
so that thru it all, serenity, courtesy
and calm discretion marked the per-
formance of each day's requirements.
We have sometimes met the man of
marked ability and efl^ciency who has
let escape this gift 6f hope. The droop-
ing of the lines about the mouth, the
depressing influence of his conversa-
tion are noted in contrast to the in-
spiration and vigor imparted by tho
one who refuses to allow distrust and
apprehension to linger in mind and
heart. — Luther I^oague Review.
1918 LANTHORN
There are still a few copies of the
191S Lanthorn left which the class
are selling out at reduced rates. If
you want one apply at once as the
supply is about gone.

EDITORIAL
Someone remarked the other day
that a "perverted .sense of humor vaxs
better than no sense of humor at all."
Granted. But knowing full well that
we are running- the ri.sk of being ac-
cused of the greater evil of having no
sense of humor at all, we cannot help
remarking what a mighty power this
sen.'^e of humor has in determining onr
outlook upon life, and how subtly its
perversion may turn our thoughts in-
to narrow channels. If it is not a di-
rect cau.se of provincialism, as we may
be led to believe, it is at least, an un-
failing indication of it.
Many a jovial lyceum lecturer has
taken for his text the iimeworn para-
phrase, "Tell me what a man laughs
at, and I'll tell you what he is," and
the saddest part of it for some of us
is, that its true! The funny bone is a
pretty good index of character. When
some coarse jest releases the coarser
bray of the village wag, we at once
place him on a lower plane than the
man whose modulated laugh follows
the clever but genial quip of the true
humorist. The diflerence in the senses
of humor largely determine the rfls-
finctions between the "lower" and the
"higher" forms of stage piesentations.
The vaudeville audience that roars nt
"slapstick" comedy we rate lower than
the Shakespearian house that is high-
ly amused at the wit of Touchstone.
In general then, we may judge folks
by their attitude" toward matters of
humor. To bring this conclusion homo
to Susquehanna, we feel that tlio blunt-
ncss of our faculties for humor here
should form a subject of some deep
thought. Our provincialism has ex-
pressed itself many times in our stil-
ted and homely jokes. Instead of a
pure healthy type of humor, we have
rome perilously near to developing a
habit of seeing ludlcrousness in every-
thing. Our schoolmates we regard as
a queer collection of odds and ends of
society, overlooking thfir belter qual-
ities. Every movement that posses-
ses any intitative is at once made the
butt of numerous inane witticisms,
without regard to its merit. We are
1 in scratching about in
1li(> dried acorns of ridi-
forget to look above and
admire the growth of the sturdy oak
of serious purpose. And worse than
that, we are throwing the dust about,
to prevent others from seeing.
We have no reason to believe that
our college Is any different from oth-
ers in this respect. Youthful ex-
uberance will out. To one delving in
bistory, philosophy, and other abstract
.sulijects, the world of affairs must ap-
pear, not as a world of struggling anil
testing, fearing, and hoping, living
and dying, but as-a world of odd folks,
the blind leading the blind, and both
falling into the ditch; which seems
very tunny to the average student with
his typical college provincialism.
Continual solemnity in young peo-
ple is of course almost a crime;
everybody should look for the brighi
side of things, and we would be the
last to deny anyone this wondeiful
privilege, but to perpetually feed on
the foibles and frailties of people is
unworthy of us as students. It is too
narrow to be consistent with our
ideals of college life.
FOOD CONSERVATION
In compliance with a request from
the government that a course in food
conservation be established in all the
colleges and institutions of learning,
Susquehanna has decided to institute
such a course this spring.
In at least two of the departments
such courses will bo started. In place
of the usual Spring Term electives
these courses will be used. The mat-
ter was placed before the upper clas-
ses and they decided that this should
be done. One department will stu.dy
the chemistry of the food problem and
the other deparement will take up the
other matters.
This is a very good thing at this
time and shows the loyalty of Susque-
hanna and all connected with her. In
the past Susquehanna has always done
her part and she is not slow in taking
these advanced steps. The student:;
are back of the faculty in this for-
ward step and all will work together
for the success of the innovation.

WHY WE ARE FIGHTING
That liberty, the .sacred inheritanco
of the American people, may be per-
petuated; that the sacrifices of the
Patriots of '76 have not been in vain:
that we may continue t'le conduct of
affairs of our nation in accordanco
with our own believs and desires; that
our citizens may travel the highways
of the "World and sail the seas unmo
tested, and that we shall not submit
to the domination of an ambition-mad-
dened autocracy, the United States
has entered the great conflict which
is shal<ing the very foundations of the
world. Having taken this step, thero
can be no turning back until we hav?
fought the war to a finish, to victory,
pnd to a peace-settlement which will
insure American posterity against th<'
repitition of Huch a war. I believe a
repetition of .such a war. I believe a
peace will come with the extermina-
tion of the viruK which has brought
practically the whole world into war —
Prussian Militarism. So there can be
lut one issue before the American
people — the viprorouB and successful
prosecution of the war To that end
everything else must be subordinated,
and every effort of our boys at the
front must be sustained by a self-sac-
riflcing patriotic people at home.
—John W. Weeks.
ODE TO A GIRL
After the Preceptress Has Changed
the Tables at the Dorm
Lulu, Lulu, how I miss you,
There beside me while I eat.
How I need your cheerful chatter,
As I view the Cream of Wheat,
When I see the gravy coming,
Much I need your bright remarks,
You who kept the watier running,
Till his dizzy head saw sparks.
Now the toasted flakes are dryer,
Now tlie milk is deeper blue,
And the cause of it dear Lulu,
Is J'm longing just for you.
But the months will fly by quickly,
Bringing sunshine, cloud, and rain-
Then perhaps we'll be together.
Farewell, till we eat again. — Ex.

The Susquehanna:
My dear sir:— Enclosed find check
(or one dollar for The Susquehanna.
I have indeed a very warm spot in
my heart for the Institution or rather,
an It was called in my days '71 and •7r.,
Missionary Institute. If the students
ot today are getting as much more out
of the University, according to the im-
provements made In recent years,
than those of us who were the boys
and girls then, they will certainly, go
out into the world well prepared for
tlieir life work. May God grant that
this is true.
Sincerely yours,
C. HUBER.

COLLEGE NOTES
Steininger 21, spent the week-end at
his home in Lewistown.
We were all truly glad to welcome
the visit of several of our soldier boys
to Susquehanna Sunday, Knorr, Wood-
ruff, Huntington and Aikens.
Cole '20, spent the Sunday at Sun-
bury with his sister.
Wagner spent Sunday at his home
in McClure.
Crowl '21, and Shannon 21, spent the
week-end under the parental roof.
Papenfus 19, delivered the address
at Dogtown Sunday evening.
Kauffman '21 and Benfer '21, visited
home over Sunday.
THE PET FLEA
Pet fleas have been introduced on
the continent to some extent, and in
some families have supplanted the dog
having wormed their way into the af-
fection and anatomy of evei-y member.
They are easily fed, very lively and
affectionate and almost human in their
intelligence.
It is not well to start with an old
flea. Secure an infant of good breed
and bring him up yourself. In a short
time he will be greatly attached to
you. He should be kept in the house
or green house during the cold weath-
er, but on warm sunshiny days he can
go out for a good jump. In case the
wind blows have a good blanket for
him to wear.
Do not permit your flea to go out
alone. lie might bo persuaded to go
off with some dog, and you would
never look into his eyes again.
If possible see that your flea has
three good meals a day. He will be
better for it. Also keep water where
he can take a drink v;hen necessary.
Many fleas arc born with a terrible
thirst.
Examine him occasionally to see
that he is in good condition. If he
wags his tail freely you may know he
is alright.— Ex.

SUSQUEHANNA CO-EDS
AGAIN WIN BY BIG MARGIN
In thewe times all scales of value are
being remade. Some commoditioa
have declinod. I understand that the
bottom has dioi)i)od out of the market
for European guide books. Some com-
modities have risen — ask the house-
keeper.
The same is liappeninK among per-
sons. On every hand are those who
have not the same sense of worth as
before the war. Hei'c is one of the
keenest and least appreciated fypes of
suffering that tlie war has brought.
But others v,;';ir a new value. Many
scientists and doetors and nurses arc-
To be classified here.
Here I would also place the mis-
sionaries, and thofje who are looking
forward to missionary work. Their
capacities and conr-eptions, their atti-
tudes and visions, provoke the ques-
tion, Who knovv'cth v.hetlier thou art
not come to the kingdom for i;uch a
time as this?
First I name the eapacity for seeing
differences and fef>]inp; horror. Awfiy
back in Genesis it is written that God
divided the light from the darkness.
I3ut many have such poor eyesight that
to them the whole world Iooks f?rey;
they never take sides, they avoid ev-
erything extreme and thorough-going'
in their model discriminations; they
prate "it will all be the same in a
hundred years." They are so judicial
that they never render a decision.
They refuse to he horrified at the
greatest wrongs. Ildve these wrongs
not always existed? Is not that which
appears a new evil really an old evil
in a new dress? They are morally
neutral because they are blind to con-
trasts. The fareign missionary is the
reverse of all this. For him black is
black and while is while and neither
is grey. He is able to recognize the
devil when he m< i ts him on the street
or sees him upon a liirone."" His world
is the battle-field of opposites. Men
must take sides In cause it will make
a dilfeience, not only a luindr.^d years
Irom now but ten thousand years from
now. He is horrified at the caste sys-
tem in India, the condition of the
womanhood of Islam, the childtiood of
Africa. It disturbs Ips dreams that
these thing.s mii^ht !h improved and
are not. Surel> we do not need to
argue thai this lype of man is needed
at this hour.
A second great need is for interna-
tional intelligence. If there had been
more of that^in the world four jears
ago there might have been no war.
Some time ve -liall think it comedy
to look back and see h«w consistently
one great government guessed wrong
They guessed wrong on India and he-
land; neither ha.s made serious revolt.
Both are fighUng with the Allies.
They guessed wrong mi Italy; she
could not be madi to accept an aggres-
sive Wa.s as defensive. They guessed
wrong en England; Albion did not
wash her hands of Europe's need.
They gue.ssed wrong on France; she is
more than the home of sentimentalit-
ies. They guessed wrong very, very
wrong about America. A little interna-
tional intellipiiii 1' might have saved
many thin-s:
But there i.s need of more than in-
ternational information. We need a
philosophy of internationalism, some
workable theory of world life. Again
I turn t o (h'rmany as a pathetic exam-
ple. Why haf- her history as a colo-
nizing i o,-,-, r hfon so dreary? Why,
in Alsacj and Lorraine and Belgium,
where her oAicials have really desired
to be popuhir, have they hern met
with uninea.sured opposition? Why, if
not because Germany lacks any theory
of international cooperation?
And wh( re are you goi^g to gee in-
ternaticnal intelligence? I know no
better place to go than to the mission-
ary folk. They have the- information.
They n.c v^riting most of o*]r good
books on ilie lives of foreign peoples.
Their leader.-: are frequently summon-
ed to V.'ashinglon- for conference at
the stiiK' denartnuMit, They have a
workinii theory of international life.
It is St. Paul's oId_ thought about a di
versify of gifts and a unity of spiii'.
They are standing by this ideal fs
never luiore. Time was when their
quest for a world united in the king-
dom of God laid eniphasifj on unessen-
tials. All details were to be run into
a single mold. Once they asked that
all food and dress and language be
made omi- ;iecordiug to thqir own
ideas. Now they want to keep the
native food so far as it is wholesome'
the nafivi' ds^ .- ■. so far as it is decent,
the native language, so far as it can
be made lo^ express Christian ideas
Once tin y wnnted all institutions and
customs and forms of thought to be
transformed. Now they seek rather to
purify and infuse existing institutions
and ciis^toras with a new spirit and to
stimulate native forms of thought to
make their own original contributions
to our Chriwtian interpretations. But
Willi this inii rnational tolerance,
wliich is a part of international Intel
ligence. there goes an eciually Intelli
gent in !(jle ranee, A good member of
the family wants e\ (uy other niemhiM-

"WORLD PATRIOTISM"
DISCUSSED BY MINISTER
( Continued from First Page)
the vision, the more subtle i.s the temp-
tation. Loyalty must be focussed. We
smile at the teacher of domestic sci-
ence who herself keeps an untidy
house. The biggest thing that parents
can do for the childhood of the world
Is to rear their own children well. A
man does not serve his state by a
vague devotion. He does it through
particular duties faithfully performed.
One serves the world in the first in-
stance by serving one's own country.
Here again I find that the mission-
ary folk have the gift we need. The
missionary goes out to save the world,
but to save it by saving some little
corner of the whole. The missionary
makes citizens of the kingdom of God
but he does that by making better citi-
zens of some Chinese or Indian or
African village.
We need a focussed loyalty, yet even
that is not enough. We need a spirit
htat dwells above racial differences
and national antipathies. Wo need a
capacity for national repentance and
something to make each nation the
keeper of all others. At the outbreak
of this war we were impressed by the
unity of the mLssionary world. Un-
familiar treasuries were opened to
keep the work of German misisonaries
from collapsing. In India at the very
moment when that empire was sup-
posed to be honeycombed with German
intrigue, English missionaries took the
German missionarios into their own
homes, and in England sacrificial of-
ferings were made in the churches to
support the missionaries of the veiy
nation whose governnienl was shoot-
ing English boys to pieces. When ev-
ery other tic was snapping the mission
ary tie si ill held. If there were one-
half as much Christianity in the for-
eign offices of our great governments,
if men of missionary temper wer3
controlling, there never would have
been any war. And this for no nega-
tive reason. These are just the men
to see the iniquity of the Serbian
murder and the violation of Belgium
and the sinking of the Lusitania. The
difference would be that the govern-
ments needing to recognize the wrong
would do so. Then, on the basis of
this capacity for national repentance,
would bo roared that structure of
positive and creative goodwill which
will put an end to all war.
Some time this war will end. Some
time the nations will sit in counsel to
make a peace. Then it will be Im-
measurably important whether that
peace is made in a backward looking
spirit or a turwaid looiung spirit. Tiie
stories oi' iniiii ii i\ !■ iiianl<ind ;iic lull
of blood f( uds, where il was held te
be a point of honor that every life
taken nuisi hf iiaicl foi- with a life.
In 1H7<' (Iciinany tiiclated a peace
She made it baeliward looking. She
took Alsace and Lorraine; she extorted
a huge indemnity. Thereby she did
the world and herself immeasurable
wrung, guaranteeing yeai's of hatred
and laying the train for future explo-
sions. Shall this war be fought for a
past that can never be recalled? Shall
peace be made looking backward?
That were a treason, worse than all
other treasons put together; that were
to waste all the blood and tears of
these dark days.
Again we may appeal to the mission-
aries. Feeling the sins of men as few
others ever feel them, they go out not
to punish but to redeem. "Vengeance
is mine," saith the Lord. They stand
before the burnt-out cinder heaps of
humanity and prophesy new life. There
is not degradation enough in Mexico,
nor pride enough in Japan, nor con-
servation enough in China, nor misery
enough in India, nor fatalism enough
in Turkey, that they cannot forget it
all, or at least disregard it all, and
labor in the certainty of a better mor-
row. Ever since Jesus came to make
all things new and Paul forgot the
things that were behind to stretch on
to the things that were before, the
missionaries have toiled not because
of the past but for the future.— North

The one of the bald-headed student.
Is the funiest one of all.
I see him stand in the limelight ;
I hear him rant and rave;
I hear him vowing vengeance.
As his head they calmly shave.
From the class-room 1 see him des-
cending,
And I know by his hardened face,
He has learned he is not "Independ-
ent,"
He must step at the Freshman pace.
Do you think, O black-eyed musician,
Decause you could sweetly play
You could calm their rising spirits,
And melt their commands away?
No, they had you fast in their fortress.
And they cut all your bonny hair.
They burdened your head \rith noth-
ing.
Hut they loaded your pride with care.
For now a green wig is your head-
dress.
To wear till the end of time,
And I know the example you've set

Will make all the Fieshies sublime.

ALUMNI NOTES
Miss Emily B. Rayman, C. of M.
'15, of Munliall, has been elected to the
faculty of the Munhall High School
as teacher of typewrit ing. Up to the
lime of her election to this position
Miss Rayman had been secretary to
the superintendent of schools in the
same city.
Rev. Walter H. Traub '12, has re-
signed his pastorate at Grace Church,
State College, to accept a call to Trin-
ity Church at Hughesville, taking ef-
fect March 1st.
Rev. Clyde W. Schaeffer 10 and 16,
pastor of the Lutheran charge at Liver-
pool, has been elected principal of tho
Liverpool High School for the rest of
the year to fill the vacancy caused by
the former principal's enlisting in the
army. During the past week Rev.
Shaeffer conducted a campaign in the
schools for the Junior Red Cross and
secured a 100 per cent, membership.
Rev. P. M. Kinports '17, pastor of
the Lutheran church at Aspinwall, has
been having marked success in his
charge. During his six months of
service the church debt has been re-
duced $500 and recently by bequest
the church was the recipient of $2,000.
This practically frees the church of
debt. Fifteen new members have
been received thus far and the outlook

WHEN THE WAR WILL END
Absolute knowledge have I nine.
But my aunt's washerwoman's sister's
son.
Heard a policeman on his beat.
Say to a laborer on the street.
That he had a letter just last week.
Written in the finest Greek,
From a Chinese cooUie in Timbuctoo,
Who said the negros in Cuba knew
Who got it straight from a circus
clown.
That a man in Klondike heard the
news
From a gang of South American Jews,
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard a man who claimed to
know,
Of a swell society female fake.
Whose motherinlaw will undertake
To prove that her seventh husband'a
Bister's niece
Had stated in a printed piece
That she has a son who has a
friend
That knowa when the war is going to
end.— Trench and Comp.

FORMER PRILOS GIVE
EXCELLENT PROGRAM
FORMER MEMBERS OF PHILO RE-
TURN AND GIVE ENTERTAIN.
ING PROGRAM
Philo Literary Society met in full
force on Friday evening to enjoy a
program to be rendered by ex-mem-
bers of Phjio. Tlip hall was crowded
to the door? so great was the expecta-
tion of the student body in regard to
this program and they were not in the
least disappointed. The regular order
of business was dispensed with and
Mr. Harkins was appointed to act as
chaplain. The society elected Dr. H.
A. Allison to honorary membership.
The following program was carried
out and thoroughly enjoyed: "Mirandy
On First Aid to Matrimony" was the
subject of the select reading dramat-
ically read by Miss Mary Phillips.
Miss Ruth Herman delightfully sang
"An Old Riddle" by Neidlinger. Mrs.
Hobart in her usual artistic manner
played for her violin solo "Adagio" by
Ries and her encore was "Alia Vin-
geresca" by Tscheschulin. The Cur-
rent News by Miss Sara Manhart was
comprehensive, instructive and hum-
orous. Miss Catherine Schoch de-
lightfully played on the piano "Calf-
rhoe, Air de Ballet" by Charminade.
"Philo" was read by Mr. Geo. Schoch.
Ho reminisced in his editorial. The
main article was a patriotic appeal
entitled "Wake Up, America! Speed
Up!" which was followed by witty
jokes and quibs. Prof. Meyer artist-
ically and masterfully played "To The
Sea" and "Song" by MacDowell. In
recollections Mr. Schnure gave some
interesting historical facts and a des-
cription of the old society hall in Sel-
insgrove Hall. He told of the interest
and life of the meetings of those days
and the dedication of the present
Philo Hall in the Gustavus Adolphus
building in the spring of the year 1895
in connection with which he read an
account in a paper of that time of the
dedication June 4, 1895. This number
was especially interesting and delight-
ful to the audience. The question for
debate. Resolved that the United
States should have broken relations
with Germany at the sinking 6f the
Lusitania, was debated on the aflBrm-
ative by Prof. E. R. Wingard who
upheld his side alone in the absence of
Mr. John Wagenseller and the negative
of the question was supported by
Messrs. Frank Wagenseller and Marion
Schoch. The debate waxed quite
wai-fii and exciting and the judges
rendered their decision in favor of the
lone debater of the aflirmative. The
program as a whole was quite excel-
lent. Such an alumni program offers
much* encouragement to the under-
graduate members of Philo both by
recounting to them the old spirit of
Philo and also exhibiting to them the
invaluable experience that is derived
from active work in Philo._ We are
Indeed grateful to the performers for
their inspiration and the instructive
entertainment they rendered for Philo
and friends. May Philo long live to
produce many more such accomplished
performers on the platform who may
come back in future years to perform
for future Philos and oemonstrate the
betieflts received in Philo Hall.
MILTON HIGH SCHOOL
GIVEN SECfO DEFEAT
FOR SECOND TIME THIS YEAR
THE ORANGE AND BLACK LOW-
ERED TO SUSQUEHANNA COEDS
In a return game played at Milton
Saturday evening Susquehanna's co-
eds again defeated the Milton High
team by the score of 17-16. The game
was close and was hard fought.
Our lassies were much handicapped
by the small floor but at last iound
themselves and began scoring. Milton
scored first when Tate made a field
goal soon followed f»y two fowls. Then
Fetterolf in short order tallied three
goals and Woodruff one. Durin^this
half Woodruff shot three fouls making
the score of the half 11-5 with Susque-
hanna in the lead.
In the second half MiltoriTried hard
to win by one means or another and
came very near doing it. One. foul
after another was called on our team
and for a time the outlook was not
very good. The score was tied at 12
and then the favor switched from on >
side to the other until 16-15 was reach-
ed. The time was getting very short
and Milton was getting hilarious about
the victory when their hopes were
dashed to the ground by Fetterolf
making a basket and immediately af-
terwards the whistle was blown end-
ing the game and giving Susquehanna
the victory from the jaws of defeat.
It i;j not our desire to say much
about the officiating or other,details of
the game as not much good can be
said of it so we will pass it over.
The line-up was as follows:

Those who were privileged to attend
the student recital in Seibert Hall
Thursday evening witnessed a ran^
treat. Tho the program was given by
lamp light, the electric lights being
out of order, it was a marked success.
indeed it is the opinion of all present
that this recital was ihe best of the
year. Every number was exceptional
ly well rendered and spoke well for
this department of our school. The
instructors of the Conservatory are to
be congratulated for turning out such
excellent products from their depart-
ment. Everything was a success from
beginning to end and i lie different per-
formers are worthy of nuich commend-
ation. The following program was

Our coeds were forced to taste de-

was fast and good from first to last
and it was not till the final whistle
was blown that the desision was sure.
The final score was 25-20.
The game started with a rush and
before long Schoch haa bagged a goal.

on the score remained almost equal
till the end of the first half when the
score stood 11-10.
Second half opened strong for Tem-
ple. Several goals and many fouls
were made. The Temple foul shooter
was exceptionally good and it was by
fouls that we lost.
This game was the last of the season
and the girls were very anxious to win
but the fates were against them and
they were forced to lower their colors
to the visitors. Tho they put up an
excellent fight they were forced to ac-
knowledge defeat. This makes three
games lost this season yet we cannot
say that the season h;is not been a
success. Indeed the school can feel
proud of their Coed team. It has ad-
vertised the school quite widely and
is worthy of much ju-aise.

ded to the .spirit of ilie team.
The game last niulu was the last
for several of the players. Captain
Fetterolf, Catherine Persing and
Dorothy Rearick will graduate this
year. Thi se iiirls have been faithful
players durin.u tlK-ir tim(> in school and
the team will iniss Ihem when they
arc gone. Notwithstanding this the
outlook for a good team next year is
very good. With Woodruff, C. Schoch
and L. Schoch of this year's team and
Botsford, Allison and Mowrer of the
reserves a ,guod team can be built.
There are sovi'ral other girls who are
also showing up good for next year so
that a winning team can be expected.
Following is a brief summary of tho
season :
Sunbury High School
The Co-Eds opened the season Jan-
uary 11th very auspiciously by defeat-
ing the Sunbury High School team
20-3. The game was a very easy one
for our girls and they were able to
score at will. The results of this
game and the manner of our girls'
playing gave a .sure sign of a success-
ful season.
Mount Carmel Game
Mt. Carmel, the great rivals of Sus-
quehanna, came to Selinsgrove Jan-
uary 18th and met defeat at the hands
of our girls by the decisive score of
31-7. For many years this team ha.s
been a bitter rival of the local team
and many times in the past our girls
have had to suffer defeat at their
hands. But this \ear Ihe tables were
turned and veiv dei idedly. The su-
periority of ilii.s >eai'.-. team was here
asain shown much to ihe delight of
I lie .student Ijodj'.
LewJGburg Gam«
What was teniied to be tht- best
game of the season up to that time was
played in the gviii January 26th when
lli(- wi-11 known iiiid \iry fast team
liom Lewisbiii K \\Hs defeated by tho
score of 13 G. The game was hard
1 inL;!ii thiiKiiii and was very interest-

l.iw lsli-,ti-^r i<;iin WHS r."maikable. The
li)(:il tetini war L:etting into such ex-
cellriii hhape iliat it was believed by
soinc to be invitieible.
Wllllamsport Gome

AURORA BOREALIS
During the time the northern light:-?
wore visible last Thursday evening
the question was oflen heard, whai ni.-
they, and what c:uises Uiem. We are
giving below a bri< I (uiline of what
science tells us eouciTning them:
"The aurora boreal is (oflen called
the northern lights) is a beautiful
luminosity, straited and variable, seen
at irregular intfrvals. nnd only a1
night. From tlic gcneial laitiiude of
the United States, n apitcars as a sofi
vibrating radiance, sti earning up moat
often into the northern sky, occasional-
ly as far as the zenith but usually in
a semicircle or arcli extendinu upword
not ofer nO degrees. Its probaide
average height is about 7" miles. The
aurora generally greenish yellow in
color, has occasionally been seen of a
deep rose hue, as well as pale blue,
and other tints. The continual vibra-
tion, sometimes the rapid pulsation, of
its streamers, gives it a character of
mystery only too well enhanced by our
lack of knowledge of its causes. That
these are connected with the magnet-
ism of the earth is certain; also that a
strong influence upon the magnetic
needle is somehow exerted. Telegraph
instruments and all otlier magnetic
aparatus are greatly disturlied when
the auroras are brightest. This won-
derful spectacle grows more frequent
and pronounced, as tiie north pole is
approached; and is closely connected,
tho in a manner ineomiiletely under-
stood, with the period of sunspots, and
the protuberances. When there are
many sunspots, auroras are most fre-
quent and intense. Probably they are
merely an electric luminosity of very
rare gases. There is a similar phe-
nomenon in the southern hemisphere
where it is called aurora australis.
Both are called aurora polaris.
(Continued from First Page)
Lewisburg Game
For the second time the co-eds met-
ed out defeat to the Lewisburg team
and this time on their own floor Feb-
ruary 9th. The score was 25-9. It
was quite a blow to the Lewisburg
team to be deetated on their home
floor but they were unable to with-
stand the superior playing of our
girls. A large crowd of students ac-
companied the team and perhaps ad-
ded to the spirit of the team.
Lock Haven Game
Lock Haven was the next victim to
fall before our girls and they did this
February 16th by a very decisive score
;?.3-16. Both teams played good ball
and fought hard but the Susquehanna
lassies were too much for the visitors
and the opponents were forced to low-
er their colors.
Williamsport Game
Now again came a sad and humilat-
ing defeat. February 23rd the Will-
iamsport team again bwamped the lo-
cal team. This time by a score of
21-7. The game was a very rough one
and caused the playing of Boys' rules
to be abandoned as too strenuous for
girls to play. Tho our girls put up a
game fight and some of both teams a
"real fight" the final result v.-as against
them. It was deeply felt to be beaten
twice by the same team.
Milton High Game
On March 2nd our girls were again
permitted to taste the pleasure of vic-
tory when they defeated the team from
Milton High School by the very de-
cisive score of 41-14. Girls rules were
used and a rather slow game was th?
result. Our forwards were able to
.shoot one goal after another almost at
will and the final result showed the
effect.

COLLLEGE NOTES
Cole '20, visited at his home in Ber-
wick over Sunday.
Janson '20, spent the week-end at
his home in Enhaut.
Among those who accompanied the
team to Milton on Saturday were the
following: Neideigh, Lecrone M. A.,
Lecrone E. K., Speiglemire, Decker

Don't forget the Senior Class play
next Tuesday. Buy your tickets early.
As this is the last issue of The
Susquehanna in the winter term, we
wish you all a happy and prosperous
spring term.
Mr. Luck, for personal reasons, has
left the halls and walls of S. U. to
take up his abode elsewhere.
Gortner '21, visited his parents and
friends in Muncy over Sunday.
Daugherty ex-'20, who is now prin-
! foundation for the structure. The
completed building evidence of the
care used and the plan of the building
determines the care to be used. More
care is exerted in the building of a
fine, large structure than in a small,
ugly house. Life is the greatest build-
ing a man ever constructs and there-
fore should consume the most care
and skill. Moreover the building of
life is permanent. The good and the
bad parts remain. Mistakes cannot be
torn down and rebuilt. A good founda-
tion is given and a good building
should result. Teachers, preachers
and parents aid young people in their
building. We are building for etern-
ity and we should be continually
building and well. It costs to build
well both in this world and in the con-
struction of life. But it costs more to
build wrong. An ill built structure
may result in the ruin and loss of all.

Captain Racket is the greatest pre-
varicator in seven states. See how he
is undone in the play March 19th.
Perhaps some still doubt that the
German government planned, almost
from the first, to make us pay the
costs of its war. But even these can-
not doubt that, today, it hopes to make
us pay them — and not alone in money.
If Germany wins she must look to us
for indemnity, for In bankrupt Europe
QO one will be capable of paying, and
the German government must have
indemnity to face domfstic revolution.
But it is not that alone that Germany
craves. The claws and fangs of the
blonde beast are red; but not yet is
the beast glutted. Still it longs for
pillage, for mtirder, and for rapine
Beware! The fate of Belgium may yet
be ours.— Crittenden Marriott.
If you want to have the time of your
life attend the Senior play March 19th

month for moving. But one of our
Sophomores does nto think so, for he
decided to try the fresh air cure, and
consequently moved his bedroom to
the porch of Seibert Hall. He evident-
ly did not care much for the place, as
the next morning he was seen moving
back to the old stand.

The service of a plumber would be
greatly appreciated in the gymnasium
as several of the hot water faucets are
not in working order. They have been
out of service for some time, so why
not get on the job and fix up?

Anothei- item in the gymnasium
might be remedied without much
trouble or expense. We refer to the
matter of lights. Would it not be
very much better for the students if
two lights were placed above the niir
rors in the gymnasium? Anyone, hav-
ing occasion to shave after dark, finds
it very inconvenient to do so in the
gym.

We are so^ry to note that some one
has so far forgotten himself as to de-
liberately run across the tennis courts,
making quite large and somewhat
deep footprints. A little judgement
should be used at this time of the
year, for the ground is quite soft, and
it means hard woik to fix up the
courts. Please be a little more care-
ful hereafter.

The nuitliern lights were very noti-
eeal)le at Susquehanna last Thursday
evening, and the most of the student
body enjoyed the privilege of seeing
ttiem. We do not know what was th(>
cause of the lights going out in Sei-

to better view the electrical display in
the sky.

THE ADVANTAGES OF
MODERN FARM LIFE
Oration on Important Subject of Modem
^arm Life as Compared With That of
i ormer Times
Of all the places where life can be i the long winter nightc his mind goes
lived to its frees; and fullest where it 'out to the snow clad fields; he iniag-
can be met in its greatest variety
thtre is none equal to the open coun-
try. It is true that the growth of
large cities and industrial ccntcra,
along with the slowness of progress
in the country, has created a prejudice
against that life. But the farmer is
coming to hi.s own, and farm life is
*"'-ing on a new meaning.
lodern science and invention have
le. much to revolutionize farm life,
w and specialized machinery and
the use of motive power have gone a
long way toward solving the labor
problem so that there is no longer any
excuse for the proverbial drudgery and
lonesomeness. Agriculture has be-
ines himself opening thes table door
and hears in his mind the welcome
wicker of his horses.
So much of the best in the world
seems to have come fragrant out of
fields, gardens, and hilvsides. So many
truths spoken by the Master Poet
come to us, exhaling the odors of open
country. His stories were so often of
sowers, husbandmen, herdsmen. Ili.-i
smiles and illu.stratioiis so often dealt
with the common and familiar oeauty
of the fields.
Nor have these natural charm.s been
overshadowed oy modern improve-
ments. Indeed they have been added
to. All literature is full of nature.^

come a science and schools have beon pictures, so that an educati6u only
founded every wheic in which it may
be studied as a science. There is
boundless opportimity for experiment
and development. Spraying, seed
testing, and fertilizing have all be-
come factors in the great essentia!
struggle of the farmer to command
the forces of nature.
Nor i^ it necessary in these days for
the country dweller to live uncducat
or uninterested In what are called
finer things of life. The hardships
' ioneering have given place to the
pleasures of modern conveniences
Good roads, telephones, and news-
papers, coming every day by rural post,
enable the farmer to maintain a close
touch with the finest things the world
has \^ offer any man. The automobile
has broken the prison bars of country
life and made it possible to travel with
ease and comfort. But possibly more
important has been the advance in
rural education. The country boys ami
twirls af twenty years ago finished
their education in the giammar schools
but today they are crowding into the
rural high schools and looking for-
ward to a special training in higher
schools. Thus we find the practica',
social and intellectual sides of country
life have been revolutionized.
But aside from these there are cer-
tain inherent charms, which have al-
ways been found peculiar to a life liv-
ed in touch with nature. A feeling
comes to the man, who plants the seed
in the warm moist earth and sees it
grow into a strong mature plant, that
comes to no one else. He learns to
love his fields and crops; and when
storms or pests destroy them, his
heart aches with something more than
a sense of loss. How fine it is to
watch the fruit trees blossom in th(>
spjringtimo, to see the little white
lambs frisk and play over the green
pastures. But finest of all, is to see
and smell the rain in a corn field, af-
ter weeks' of drought. If a man take,
part in this way, in all the experiences
of the year, he comes to have an in-
describable affection for his land and
his animals. He finds joy in his lit
tie kingdom n winter and aummer. In
makes more real to tho farmer the ex-
periences of his daily lite. Modern
science teaches us that the soil is a liv
ing thing and must be fed the same as
the human body. This gives the farm-
er the interesting task of studying hi;^
soil and finding what is most needed to
strengthen it. Research and discovery
have given a new charm to the con-
stant waifare.-; with insects and fungi.
The modern farmer finds time for reo
reation. He finds more time for local
and national intercots.
An argument for country life is not
complete without some mention of tli;
home life. . Could one wish for more
ideal conditions for a home tlian those
found in modern country communities?
The average country home of today
may have the finest up-to-date reading
matter and the finest, music along
with numerous other luxuries of the
city home. In addition there is an at-
mosphere of health and strength, a
spirit of independence and satisfac-
tion, which is found only in country
homes. It is there that the clean
manly life is fostered, while the con-
stant daily comradshii- of parents and
children, the sharing of tasks and
pleasures, about the fireside in the
evening draws them together in the
bonds of a love, not usually found in
the home.
Is it any wonder then, may 1 ask,
that an ever increasing nmiiber of
people are going back to the farm;
thet young men even from the cities
are crowding into schools of agricul-
ture and preparing themselves for thai
life. The farmer is fast becoming th"
dominant figure in national and inter-
national affairs. The country' is no
longer the home of the down trodden
and uneducated. Agriculture has l)e-
come a profession and demands a
training equal to that of any other pro-
fession. In return it gives more than
most other lines of activitiy. While
it may not bring wealth or fame, it
brings that which is o? greater value—
a free, happy, healthful life.
Many of thes tudents attended the
lecture given in the Masonic Temple
on Friday evening by Major General
Clement ,of Sunbury, under the au-
spices of the Snyder County Red
Cross. The hall was well filled with
deeply intereste(lf"people.
General Clement in a very clear
and forceful way spoke to the au
dience on the conditions in France a.s
he saw them while th;-re under the di-
rection of the United States Govern-
ment. His description of the manner
of fighting and the preciseness of ev-
eiy detail in tfre greal machine were
quite interesting. He described trench
life with all its shortcomings as well
as the lerribleness of the battles. Iv;
was privileged to witness several bat
lies while in France so could tell from
actual facts what it was like. He clos-
ed his address with a stirring appeal
for greater patriotism on the part of
the people at home and a greater re-
sponse to the appeals which come to
us from the different organtzations in-
terested in the war work.

Case Tech. wil hold its annual perl
tournament this week. Rumor has it
that A. Fish — last yeai-'s aquatic cap
tain— is thought to have a fine chance
to assume the splendid trophy which
will be awarded at the end of the con
test.
At Harvard a former French ofiic t
will be in charge of the recently adop-
ted wartime sport — "bayonetting."
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania
will be the only contestants likely to
enter the intercollegiate rowing rc-
gelta to be held on the Hudson next
June.
As a result of several messages
l;om jloover, Bhiffton has decided to
offer a series of lectures of Food Con-
servation.
Because of their inability to seciin^
the required finances, the Class uf
1919, at Lafayette, will be unable to
publish the class annual.
Despite the vigorous and determined
fight put up by thes tudents and facul-
ty, the chemistry building at the Con-
necticut Agricultural College wa.^
destroyed by fire.
Official reports affrm that approxi-
mately fifty per cent, of the college
students of New P^ngland have enter
edin to some phase of war work.
A fee of two dollars is reqtiired of
every ndividual at Swarthmore who
takes a make-up examination; no ex
am may be taken "in absentia."
Special technical training will be
given to drafted men this summer af
the Wisconsin University wheie the
buildings and equipment have ueeii
loaned to the Government for the
purpose.
By eliminating its vacations, Buck-

Ladies and Gentlemen: Four min-
utes to say a few words for Uncle
Sam!
Uncle Sam's a chap we are all in
terested in. In fact, we are a part of
him. We ilic peoplu— that's Uncle
Sam. There are 100,000,000 of him
reaching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from the great Lakis to the
Gulf of Mexico. He's a nion.siious big
fellow, mighty in physiqu,. and tho
slow to anger, valiant in defense of
liberty and right.
Uncle Sam stands lorth ;us uiie of
the great free democracies of thf^
world today, in point oi' years the old-
est democracy in the world. For ou'
nation, tho yet young, at its beginn-
ing, as our immortal Lincoln haa
said: "Wa.s conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition
that all men wore created equal."
And \yo niiKht continuo almost in
Lincoln's exact words "Now we
are engaged in a great world war.
testing whether that nation or any
nation, so conceived and so dedicated
can long endure."
For look at it from any angle we
will, the supreme issue in the present
war is seen to be that of autocracy
against deniocrac.v. As President
Wilson has finely said: "We must
make the world -aie for democracy.'
This war, precipitated a.s we have
almost forgotten, by a pistol shot fired
by an eighteen year old school boy,
that was at first a quarrel between
Austria and Servia, has finally result-
ed in this alignment. On the one side
we have the great free democracies of
the world, England, I'rance and Ameri-
ca, and on the other the three great
autocracies of the world, Germany,
Austria and Turkey, the latter two
practically the vassals of Germany.
For information as to the spirit that
dominates the German nation today
I can only refer you to the pamphlet
"T^onquest and Kultur," to be had for
the asking from the Committee on
Public Information at Washington. As
to the purposes of Germany's ruler,
let this quotation from him suflice:
"From childhood I have hern influ-
enced by five men: Alexander, the
Grfat; Julius Caesar; Thcodoric II;
Frederick, the Great, and Napoleon.
Each dreamed of world empire. They
failed. I have dreamed of German
world dominion and my mailed fist
shall succeed."
We as Americans believe not only
that we are fighting for our national
integrity but that our cause is the
cause of humanity as well. We be-
lieve that the destiny of tho race is
safest not with a German autocracy
like a mighty colossus astride the
world, nor with the Bolsheviki fanat-
ics of Russia, but with the orderly
and progressive evolution of the great
free democracies of the world, Eng-
land, France and America.
Ladies and genUemen, we have a
cause worth striving for, a cause
worth sacrificing for, a cause worth
fighting for and if nee^d be dy-
ing for. The splendid words of Col-
onel Roosevelt, spoken some years ago,
were never more true than they are
today: "We here in America hold in
our hands the hope of the world, the
fate of the coming years, and shamo
and disgrace will be ours if in our
eyes the light of high resolve is dim-
med, if we trail in the dust tho
golden hopes of men."
NO VARSITY BASEBALL
By action of the Athletic Associa-
tion last fall it was decided to drop
all intercollegiate atlihlics at t-usque^
banna for thf period of the war.
This mcari? there will be no baseball
this spring, lioweve,- tlie athletic
board Ikis pui chased liaseball jiara-
phanalia and the various doparimentrf
and classes of the university will be
represented on the field by their re-
spective nine.'^, So l)asebali will not
be dropped in spitf of the fact that
there wil be no varsit>'
Attention will be ^i\en to (he track
and it is hoped tliat \\r (im arous?
enough iniei'ifii lo tum- an iiiterclass
meet. As soon as llie W(\ather pei-
mits \\ (irk will b'-ain in fixing up tho
tennis courts and the re is no reason
why we should not have several first
class tennis teams. Athletics this
spring will be on the jump and every
one will find plenty to do in one of
thes sports.
SUMMER SCHOOL
..Summer Term opens June 24th in-
stead of June 3rd as previously an-
nounced. This change was made so
that students from schools which do
not close till late can enroll and pre-
pare for teaching this fall.
WEIMAR EDITION
OF LUTHER'S WORKS
The library of Susqueiianna lias en-
riched its collection of Lutherana by
adding 159 volumes of the Weimar Edi-
tion of Luther's Works. This edition
has been edited liy able Lutheran
specialists and is one of the most
scholarly sets of works ever issued.
Susquehanna is ready for more ad-
ditions to her large library and for a
fireproof modern building in which to
house and to use them.
ATTENTION! SUBSCRIBERS!
Here's a proposition for you. In
creased co.st of production. War time
conditions affecting advertisers and al-
so subscriptions; receipts for the pres-
ent year running below receipts for
the same period last year; about one-
half of the active subscriptions still
unpaid for the present term and a
oodly number from last year. This
means that one-half of the readers of
the paper will make an increased post-
age expenditure to remind them of
their indebtedness. It's only a dollar
to you but all the dollars together
mean a great deal to us. Won't you
do your part? It's up to you,

Why are there twenty-four hours in
a day? A question philosophers might
well ponder; yet a question which in
dividuaLs far less learned must ans-
wer eveiy day of tht.r lives.
Why are there twenty-four hours in
a day? One student tells us— not
with his lips however — "That I may
sleep ten hours and spend the next
four waking up." Another, "That I
may spend one hour at the bakery,
four at cards, and halt a dozen loafing
and talking about nothing." And still
another, "That I may linger for ten
minutes between each class and a
whole hour every evening, in sweet
communion with the dearest girl in
the world." And another, "That I may
crowd into every minute as much
hard work as it can contain." Do any
of these persons deserve to be pre-
sented every morning with a new day
worth twenty-four hours?
Twenty-four hours. Eight are for
sleep, as most of us agree. But how
divide the other sixteen? We — strange
fact— are sent to colle"ge to work; but
because we are all born lazy let us as-
sume a very liberal playtime allow-
ance. Eight hours for meals and
recreation, we will say, and eight for
work. "That's ea.sy," you may boast,
"yesterday I spent six hours in clas-
ses and two hours studying." Very
good. But weren't you fifteen minutes
late for your eight o'clock class?
And didn't you spend half your his-
tory period writing notes to a certain
young lady, and the best part of your
English hour dreaming with your eyes
fixed on the blue sky outside?
Spring fever Too bad. And, oh, by
the way, did you include in your six
hours class work the time you spent
carving initials on the Math-room
table?
Next a bright-eyed co-ed tells us. In
confidence, that she spent four hour.s
Studying and five hours in classes
We congratulate her, and inquire what
Bhe studied in her four hours. Imagine
our surprise when we discover that hf i'
Btudy time had been "filled" with two
hours worth of work, ten cents worth
of candy and nothing's worth of chat-
ter.
Oh, yes, we are too critical. We
agree perfectly. But we honestly
want to discover wht;ther there rhould
be twenty four hours in a college day.
Here comes a girl with a worried
look. Let's ask her. Inquiry proves
that she "goes In for everything,"
works at one task or another from 8
a.m. to 10; no p.m., except when she
"just steals time for a walk down
town." She wishes there were thirty-
Bix hours in a day. Yet when we
study her acconiplisliimnts we find
that tho always wprking she is "rush-
ed to death" with about eight hours'
real work. It appears that we rnigii;
all use better a shorter day.
The report for the iise of play houi-i
is evoh worst , Over-eating, gossip,
fitful ejercise, and sheer idleness seer^
to be favorite diversions. And then
there is endless conversation with the
same people on the same subjects un-
til it is small wondei that our thot.s
move in circles. Reading is absent anrl
thinking is far from us. Such occu-
pations are for those who need nor
work as hard as we.
Once we had a vision In it, we saw
an up-to-date college man who applied
the laws of modern business efficiency
to his life.. Every night, he planned
his work for the next day. He wa.-:.
never late, he never forgot, and he
usually prepared his lessons. Yet ho
had time for athletics, for fun, for
reading and for a mod( rate amount oi
"social life." College liked him, and
he liked college.
But this was all a dream. As for
us, 'twere better tliat the day had only
eighteen hours. — Ursinus Weekly.
THE COLLELGE WIDOW
To inarry, or not to marry, — that is
the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in th». minds of
Profs, to be a college widow.
Or to link arms with a youthful
swain,
And by wooing, marry him? To wed,
— to love —
No more; and by loving to stiy we
end
The heart-aches and the thousand
other things.
That co-eds fain would do,— 'tis a
combination,
Devoutly to be wished. To wed,—
to love; —
To live! Perchance to rule! — ay,
there's the rub;
For in that life of Jove what grief
may come,
V\'hen we have shufliled off this sin
gle state.
Must give us pause: There's the
salient trait that brings Reno to a
lover's life;
For who would hark the words of
suitors.
The Olympic Show, the treat across
the street.
The lure of campus walks, the mill-
stone talk.s,
The insolence of Daily's 7:30 law.
To "read or write the "billet-doux,"
When she herself, could her own life j
live with education true?
Who'd these burdens bear
To grind and sweat in single bliss.
But that .the dread of Haymen's
aftermath
That abyssmal depth of chaos and
d(>spair
In our vision, — changes our decision,
And makes us rathei* bear those ills
we have
Than go to others of uncertainty?
Thus professors mould the lives of
all;
And thus the thought of our deter-
mination
Is sickled o'er with that of Fancy
Fern ;
And our great thots of married bliss.
With this regard soon turn away,
And lead to indecision. — Soft you
Now! The hour is up. — T 1.

Y. M. C. A.
Kapp was leader of the Y. M. C. A.
meeting last Tuesday evening. I'he
speaker of the evening was Rev.
Bowers, of Sunbury. in the beginning
of his address he reminisced some-
what about the Y. M. C. A. in his col
lege days at Wittenburg, telling how
the men who attended the Y. M. C. A.
meetings are the men who are doing
the work of the kingdom today. Then
as appropriate to the Lenten season
he spoke about Pet^r and using for
the basis for his talk Matt. 26:58:
"And Peter followed him afar." Rev.
Bowers then eloquently and vividly
described the events in the garden cf
Gethsemane, the arrest. Peter's hasty
action, Christ's miraclo of healing the
severed ear, the procession over th-3
brook Kedron and up to Pilate's
house with Peter following afar. The
description was so real that the au-
dience was fascinated and moved.
The speaker then told that Peter was
not the unselfish, selfsacriflciog man
that he was later. Many of us like
Peter are following afar. We are not
close to the Master. Altho Peter fol-
lowed afar, yet he followed. He fol-
lowed poorly and secretly but he fol-
lowed. And Peter got there, even
tho he first denied his Master. He
became the leader of the disciples
and accomplished much good and
tradition tells us that Nero had him
crucified head downward. In closing
the speaker again used his marveloui?
descriptive power in portraying the
scene of Christ and Peter by the sea
closing with Peter's statement "Thou
k newest that 1 love Thee."
The meeting was then turned over
to the president who conducted the
annual election of officers. The elec-
tion resulted as follows: Pres., W. D.
Allbeck; Vice-Pres., R. F. Auman;
Hec, M. C. Gortner; Treas., M. C
Cole; Monitor, A. Bohner. These new
ofBcers will be installed at the next
meeting to serve for one year. We
wish them great success in their ad-
ministration.

Training School, Camp Kearney, PJxpo-
sition Grounds and Buildings, which
was alive with soldier.^ and cadets,
.ship building industries, canning fac-
tories, parks, public buildings and
many other places of interest.
Our ne.x't trip was to Van Bernardi-
no to attend the orange show which is
held annually and visited 'by people
from all parts of the world. This was
beyond description, li was the great-
est exhibition of fruits and other pro-
ducts or Calit'ornia ever witnessed in
this country. From there we went to
Riverside to visit the Mission Inn and
the Indian School. We took a boat at
Van Pedro and went thirty miles out
on the Pacific Ocean. This Island is
twenty-two miles long and seven and '-
half miles wide. While tl^re we went
out on gfass bottom boats and viewed
the submarine gardenb. the most beau-
tiful gardens under the sea in the
world, from 30 to 80 feet under the
surface. After returnmg from this
trip we visited the ostrich farm, the
alligator farms, the oil fields, old man
sions and many places of interest,
have gathered many nice views to
show you when I return home.
We leave for Mexico tomorrow and
will follow the Southeiu Pacific route
to Washington, D.C.
With be.st wishes for all I remain.
Yours verj* truly,

THE BIGGEST FOOD THING
NOW— PRODUCTION
MR. HORTON'S LETTER
Los Angeles, March 3, 1918.
Dear Friends:
After writing you we went to San
Food Administration is not onf
thing, but three— Conservation, Con-
trol, and Production. From month to
mouth, according to the fortunes of
war, and the needs of our Allies, our
soldiers and ourselves, we save food
at our tables and handle it at reason-
able profits as business men, or plant
it as farmers and gardeners.
Now is the time to be busy with
your second year war garden. Last,
year's war gardens were a magnificent
success— more than 3,000,000 acres cf
back-yard and suburb lots were plant-
ed, yielding $350,000,000 worth of
fresh products, and a billion quarts of
home-canned and home-dried stuff.
This year's war gardens must be big-
ger and better, in acreage and or-
Iganization. Order your seeds now,
and help the seed men with the conn-
ing spring rush. Order your fertilizer
now, and your lime, and help the rail-
roads. Buy your garden tools imme-
diately, and help the hardware man.
Arrange for spring plowing, not only
for yourself, but in co-operation with
your neighbors. Plan your garden st
that everything will be planted in
rows, easily cultivated with a wheel
hoe. Also plan for double cropping
wherever possible — follow your peas
and beans with turnips and cabbage.
Plant a good variety and can or dry
the surplus.
War gardens in Germany have beer
better every year — that shows what
experience and organization will do.
We must not let the Germans beat us
here, any more tlian on the Western
Front. War Gardens should continue
long after peace returns, because they
represent economic betterment of tho
Nation. Plant this year's garden as
tho for a ten year war, thus benefit-
ting by the personal efficiency that war
brings. — James H. Collins.

JOTS AND BLOTS FROM
THE COLLEGE CflMPyS
We are very glad to note that we
at last have a rope on our flag polo.
There will now be no excuse for not
floating the stars and stripes, and al
so our service flag. We wish to thank
Shobert, who so valiantly climbed the
pole Saturday afternoon. This was
quite a stunt, and he certainly liad a
large audience watching him.
Again we wish to caution the .stu-
dents about walking on the grass and
tennis courts. This is the time of the
year when the ground is rather soft
and footprints are very noticeable. If
we watch this matter a little more
closely now, our campus will be much
nicer a little later on.
The fellows are now getting the'base
ball fever, Saturday afternoon quite
a number of the fellows could be seen
down on the athletic field twirling the
ball. Keep up the good work, for we
are anxious for some varsity baseball
this spring.
We are now on our regular spring
term schedule. It turely seemed
queer to continue school work with-
out a little vacation between the terms,
but we are all glad of it, for it means
our finishing up so much earlier.
The seniors are very busy putting
tlie finishing touches on their clas--
play. It is sure to be ver>' good and
veiy funny. Everyone should make
it a point to see the play tonight.

AN EMIGRANT'S IMPRESSION
OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
Travelers entering New Yoik harboi,
If they enter in the night —
See the statue of a woman,
Holding liigh a brilliant light.
To the world this mighty Goddess,
Holding high this brilliant torch.
Symbolizes truth and Ireedom,
For which countless heroes fought.
For the sand and friendless exile.
Entering New York's cheerless bay.
In that light is joy and friendship,
Charms which drive sad thoughts
away.
Tell me sad oppressed wanderer.
Ho you feel its mighty charm?
If not, let the ocean zephers,
Inoculate you with that balm.
For before you is a country.
Free from despots cruel arm.
Wherein dwelleth many nations,
Enjoying this celestial charm.

GUNS TO BE SECURED FOR USE |
IN STUDENT MILITARY DRILL
Money Secured for the Purchase of Prac-
tise Cutis for Students in Military Drill—
Selinsgrove People Assisted
Susquehanna's student body again i sired. Dr. Aikens further encouraged
unmistakably d'r .lonstrated their pat-
riotism and desire tor some military
training in a meeting last Tuesday af-
ternoon in Seibert Hail. The purpose
^ the meeting was to discuss means
of securing arms for the local military
company which has been in existence
since the faculty has made this train-
ing a part of the curriculum. The
volunteer company of Iftst spring and
the drill company this winter were
much handicapped by the lack of arm:?
to drill with and it was suggested that
something be done to secure them. It
was for thiff purpose' that Captain
Weaver requested a meeting of the
male student body. Sergeant Hark-
ins had charge of the meeting and
the company and complimented them
on their progress and interest. Cap-
tain Weaver inaugurated some new
formations in both open and closed
order and held a stiff drill.
Later he appointed a committee for
the purpose of canvassing the business
men and public spirited citizens of the
town for further funds. This commit-
tee was composed of Messrs. Wm.
Schnuie, Geo. Schoch and Bay Bulick,
from the town, and Lutton, Shoaf and
Allbeck, from the imiversity. These
men thoroughly canvassed the busi-
ness section of the town and met with
a hearty respo'nse from all public
sf)irited citizens who are congnisant
of the need of military training and

"CAPTAIN RACKET'' A GREAT
SUCCESS— WILL BE REPEATED
Full House Greets Senior Thespians at
Initial Performance of Their Comedy —
Excellent Choruses ,
o
presented the matter. He showed the the hindrance the lack of arma is.
impracticability and impossibility of
obtaining Winchester rifles both be-
cause of the prohibitive cost and thp
great demand for them by the govern-
ment at the present time. He showed
a betber plan of buying wooden rifles
shaped exactly in imitation of the
Springfield rifle and having a stock
and swlvei'. They are the kind Si
arms many of the training camps and
collegiate military companies use and
are approved by the government for
drilling purposes. A rifle costs only
one dollar and it was thought that
sufflcient money could be raised to
equip th« company. Accordingly sub-
scriptiont' and money were taken from
among the students to buy the rifles
which will be the property of the in-
stitution and may serve to tr^in many
future undergraduate students. En-
thusiasm moved the boys to be gener-
ous and when the meeting closed Sec-
retary Shoaf reported over thirty dol-
lars subscribed. Captain Weaver ex-
pressed his gratitude at the hearty re-
sponse of the company and further
stirred up the spirit of the body. On
Wednesday evening at drill the matter
They scarcely needed to be reminded
that the boys who were in the com-
pany last spring and then enlisted in
the national army found the little be-
ginning of training they received on
Susquehanna's athLtic field very val-
uable and save them an advantage
over many of their fellow soldiers.
Hence the townspeople, ever loyal to
the university and interested in the
welfare of the students generously
contributed until the amount subscrib-
ed has reached almost a hundred dol-
lai:s. ' Reports from all members of
the committee are not available nor
has all the luoney been paid but ft is
believed that the total will exceed the
mark. Much interest and spirit has
been shown and the committee is de-
termined that the total shall go over
the top. In all probability the money
will all be collected and the order sent
before bhis goes to press. The stu-
dent body deserve much praise and
they are truly grateful to their friends
in town for their splendid response to
the request for funds to secure the
guns which we feel sure will soon ar-
rive. Thus Susquehanna is taking her
was again presented to those who had ipj^^gp among the colleges of the coun-
not been present at the meeting.
More money was subscribed until with
u the aid of President Aikens and Dr.
f Houtz the subscriptions had reached
fifty dollars, one half of the sum de-
try in preparing her undergraduate^
students for the military service that
they may be compelled to render their
nation after graduation.
.. "HOW LONG, OH CATALINE! ..
How long would an American-Ger-
man, thinking and talking Pro-Ameri-
canism, be tolerated in Berlin?
How long would a German, think-
ing and talking anti-Austrianism, he
tolerated in Munich?
If you who read this were in Ger-
many today, would you exped to be
allowed to talk against Germany sim-
ply because you were an American?
Would you not be profoundly grate-
ful to be permitted to remain alnve
and keep your mouth shut?
If America is not united for the war,
it is, at leastf to be hoped that from
now on no American will talk sedition.
There are two possible sorts of hu-
man beings in Ameirca. today — foreig-
ners and citizens. Of these' it will be
the duty of citizens to be loyal; forei-
gners will be taken care of as they de-
serve, according to their actioi)s. A
third variety of human being in Ameri-
ca, an impossible sort, citizen and jjis-
loyal. Tn time of war such a creature
is as unimaginable as an athistic Chris-
tian. It cannot be imagined in time of
war, how any bc^ng can be at onct;
citizen and disloyal.
Any German in Germany, talking
dislayalty to Germany, would be plac-
ed against a wall and shot. If you
can't talk for America, keep your fool
mouth shut.
"LET US HAVE PEACE"
So spoke the master militarist -of
America three and fifty years ago. So
say we after viewing the desolation of
three and a half years of the worst
warfare the earth has ever known.
Let us have peace — just as soon as
the broken sword of Prussianism is
tendered in unconditional surrender.
Detesting war, we are forced to be-
lieve in a war which became neces-
tary to regain peace for the world.
Respecting peace, we protest against
a pseudopeace which the enemies of
mankind may use as a preparation for
renewed war.
If Might is God and Schrecklichkeit
is its Prophet, then Prussianism is
justified. Welcome peace and wel
come the shackles which shall bind
the world. But if such a standard is
wrong, then Germany is wrong and
we dare not submit or quit until her
poAver is no longer a menace. Let us
have peace, hut let it be peace between
pe(n's. The only peer of democracy is
democracy. When Prust^ianism flou<-
ed its own royal bonded word as a
"scrap of paper" it forever abjured all
right to enter into anot+ier treaty with
self respecting peoples. When Pru.s
sianism speaks no\k', no matter how
fair the words, neither its friends nor
its enemie* believe. P does not even
believe itself. Pnisisan speech is a
mere means of disguising its purpose.

What was undoubtedly the funniest
play ever staged in Selins,L;i()\ c was
put on last Tuesday night by the
Senior class of the University. It was
a continuous laugh from first to last.
Every character played as a profes-
sional and there were no hitches.
Everything was a success.
Professor Keener played tin/ role of
Captain Racket, a lawyer when he had
nothing else to do, and who was a
notorious prevaricator but at last had
to confess to his wife. He had been
sent by his uncle to sic a gii'l whom
his uncle had proposi'd to hut the
captain told the uncle that the girl
was pot handsome so that the uncle
went to Japan. Racket then inarried
the girl himself. This was allright till
the Uncle, Paul Faust, returned and
then the trouble etarted. The Rack-
ets at this time were attending a
house party at the home gf Timothy
Tolman, Selin 1). Ulrich, whose wife,
Florence Lubold, had an awful tem-
per and made poor Tim's lile miser-
able. After Uncle Obadiah's arrival
the captain sent his wife Clarice to
her father. P. P. Williamson, house
witli Tim. Tim goes to a cafe and
l)ecomos intoxicat(>d, returning the
following morning. Then the trouble
started. Mrs. Tolman starts on Tim
about returning late and about the
time he had the matter patched up the
waiter from the cafe, Russel Auman,
came in with a bill for damages which
started a new row. This brought
Captain Racket into the affair and
caused a difference between him and
Clarice. Trouble continues to pile up
for Captain Racket till the last act

MORE THAN A MILLION
.\Uho. there never should have been
any question, Lutherans have prover
themselves loyal Americans. They
have nobly pledged to care for our
165,000 Lutheran boys in the Army and
Navy so that our Church may go with
the boys in this world struggle wher
ever they may be. The National Luth
eran Commission asked the Churoii to
raise $750,0(M) for one year's work and
they most nobly responded by making
It over a million. The chairi-ffan of the
Executive Committee of the Luther
League, Hon. E. P. Eilert, Is the
treasurer of the Cdmmission and was
also the chairman of the National Fi-
nance Committee In this campaign.
At anv rate we can't help It.
COLOR STAND WANTED
Now that the matter of guns for the
military drill has been provided for
there is one more thing needed. That
is a stand of colors. This consists of
a United States flag and a Susquehan-
na flag, ff there is any reader who
might be interested in this matter he
can secure further information by"
writing to Captain Weaver or to The
Susquehanna. We will gladly give any
information that may be desired.
EASTER GREETINGS

to all its readers a happy Eastei
season.

A TRULY NATIONAL SPIRIT
Confident in the righteousness of ou'-

ly concerned in making their own part
in the life of the Nation of the great-
est possible value to the Public Good;
a great, patriotic, potential push that
will put us over the top in all our ob-

cal expression of true palrioti.sm.
.... OUR SACRED DUTY
"It was necessary that the United
States should have entered the arena
of arms in defence ol freedom -the
United States where liberty found its
birth in the vvesiern hemisphere; and
we of the present generation of Anieri

fathers and their patriotic graves if
we did not put everything we have,

A WORD TO THE WISE

ing a final chat after his evening call.
He was leaning against the door post,
talking in low tones. Presently tli-'
young lady looki-d ;i round to dis-
cover her father in the doorway, dad
in a dressing gown.
"Why, father, what in the world is

a joke on the uncle. The play ends
with everyone happy. The part of
Claiice was ably plajed by Helen
Fetterolf.
The music was furnished by an or-
chestra from the school which was
well liked. Several times during the
play the guests at the huusi' party
sang selections. These added greatly
to the show.
The play was a marked success and
the demand for it to l"' k [it-ated has
induced the class to put it on again.
The date for this has not b«en fixed

COLLEGE ADVERTISING
Why is it that soine colleges arc ad-
vancing with tremendous strides,
while others are standing still or los-
ing ground? There are a good many
factors entering into the question, but

"What's til.' i:. "? We'll just spend a
lot of niont y and have nolliing to shov,
for it. Thai, isn't the way we used to
do." And so the ciiorus runs. 0!
coui-;u' if everything is moving alons;
smoothly and successfully, there isn''
any need tor the adoption of a nvv
policy. No baseball manager breaks
up a winning combination, even tho he
has better individual players sitting
on the bench. But what if the team
starts losing? Then what does he do?
If he is an intelligent manager, he
tries out combinations and continues
doing so till he starts his team climb-
ing. The same principle will apply to
college management. There are cer
tain men on the Susquehanna faculty
who could be used to splendid advant-
age, and who would do it for the sake
of the love they have for the school.
But these men cannot be expected to
give their summer vacations without
being well paid for their time and ef-
fort. Let the board put an intelligent
proposition up to these men, give them
time to formulate a well arranged
method of attack, and there is no
question about the result of the drive.
Another factor in advertising a
it is the purpose of this short article
to suggest but one reason. Some col- ' ^^chool is the quality of the material
leges have come to rea'ize what every
wide-awake business man realizes —
that judicious advertising pays; other
schools seem to be unconscious of this
advantage.
First let us see what is meant by
judicious advertising. All small col-
leges are limited in their financial re-
Bources. Every dollar expended nmst

<)u: Uidicious advertising is
n<\\' eh takes this possibil-
i' at ion. It is advertising
which is not falsely economical. It
does not hold too tightly the possessed
dollar when there is an intelligent
possibility of expending it to good ad-
vantage.
But, you say. "How do(\s this affect
Susquehanna?" H is the belief of tho
writer thai il \ 1 1 y closely touches litr.
Have tho^i' in charge of the school any
intelligent scheme of advertising in
mind? Has there been any concen-
trated eliorl during the pat,t few years
to get till' ;fiiool before the public"'
True, t'.Mi 1; i.\c been scattered ef-
forts, but such efforts seldom I'lin.g
that goes out in the various college
publications. We are sorry to say
tiiat The Susquehanna is not quite as
good as in former years but this can
be attributed to the scarcity of news
caused by the lessening of activities
due to the war. There is always room
for improvement. This publication
can be made to serve a greater need.
Let the school get back of it with more
vim and vigor. It ought to bring more
to the front the life of the Alumni.
This i.s impossible without a greater
cooperation on the part of the Alumni.
The Alumni of Susquehanna are
loyal; they have the mterests of the
scliool at heart, and will do anything
within their power to increase the ca- '
pacity and influence of the school. But,
out from the school, there are some
things which must originate in the
school itself. And one of these things
is the inauguration of a live advertis-
ing carapai,gn; They can do much to-
ward aiding such a campaign when
once set in motion, and will do this.
They can offer suggestions born out
of years of experience, but they cannt
successful results. Has the ni.uiuge- ! compel the management to put such
ment of the school ever plnnncu a
wide-awake, cunstruclive caisu-il^ii?
Here is a suggestion— a scheme
which ha.s proven successful in other
places— appoint some live student who
has news and literary ability as Pub-
licity Man. Let it be his bu.siness to
.see that reports of unusual coUepit
happenings pet into the Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh jiapers. Let him or-
ganize a I'n ss Club that will send
weekly bUrs to papeis in m iKhbor-
ing couutii , 1 specially 'o those parts
fro^i which the school draws stiuh iits.
Make him responsible for this eml of
Fchool advertising. Pay him suffi-
ciently Will to justify his pultin.g into
the effort the best that he has. If the
Bolection be wisely made the leturns
from this effort ought to consiiiuto a
good investment to the school.
Then, what of summer advnti.siiig"'
Has the school any definitely outlined
way of handling the problem? Erratic
and spasmodic efforts cannot In- ( \
pected to produce satisfactory results.
Would it not iiay the Board to send out
several of the members of the faculty
during the summer vacation, one to
each of the different synods. Pay him
for his time and efforts. Let him get
suggestions to the test. Undoubtedly
we need some new methods of getting
llni. public in touch with the excellent
advantages which the school is oHer-
ing.

'can make good out f evil. Man tries
to rule and man makes the mistakes
and does the evil in his own conci>it
and folislmoss byut God overrules all,
An evidence of this in the present war
is that certain religious facts hav<'
been brought into prominence. The
first is the fact of religious conscious-
ness. Men are talking about religion
more than they used to. The second
is the fact of personal responsibility.
The third is the principle of spirit of
sacrifice. Thus we see that the war
has already done some good.
After this excellent address Presi-
dent Shoaf took charge and after mak-
ing a farewell speech installed the
new officers. President-elect Allbeck
made a short speech acknowledging
the honor and responsibility of his of-

The Writer's Monthly, a valuable
journal for all who write, makes the
following comment on the value of ex-
changes:
"You have a dollar, i have a dollar.
We swap. Now you have my dollar
and I have yours. We are no better
off.
"You have an idea. I have an idea.
We swap. Now you have two ideas
and 1 have two ideas.
"That's the difference."
WE MUST PLEDGE ALL WE HAVE
All our strength and all our resour-
ces are pledged to win the War.
All that wt> have we are ready un-
grudgingly to give, and without the
thought of material gain. President
Wilson has said that America wants
nothing for herselt in the War that she
docs not want other nations to enjoy.
To this sentiment the voice of our peo-
ple has echoed overwhelming appro
val, giving evidence of a spiritual awa-
kening that is purifying the life of
the nation. It is the expression of
the American idea, liberty founded in
rroduction declared that all Y. M. C. A.
members may and should be proud of Justice, and soon to be made real to
Ihe fact that they are identified with jail peoples.
Huch a noble organization. When war
was declared the government had a
new problem to solve— the problem of
sustaining the morale of the army.
^The consti!uant chaplaincy of the
I |.my was entirely insufficient. In con-
sequence President Wilson asked Hon.
•lohn R. Mott to head fTio Y. M. C. A.
^var work. The Y. M. C. A. was the
only organization that could in any
way do the work and Mr. Mott accept-
■d the job. The Y. M. C. A. organiza-
lion was shifted to a war basis and
Ihe public was asked for thirty-five
million dollars. The publice xpressed
their confidence by donating fifty mil-
lion. This was one of the most slgni-
ficent evidences of the supreme con-
ndence of the public mind In the plans
of the Y. M. C. A. that could possibly
liave bene shown. Surely the Y. M. C.
A. is a great organization. War is the
great subject of public discussion at
I he present time. Altho the war seems
terrible and anything else than the
work of Providence yet we know that
God always overrules the folly of men
to His glory. He is the only one who
The spirit of willing .sacrifice for the
sake of an adea which is emphasized
by America will exalt the purposes of
the War, and when peace comes it will
be a peace to bring happiness to the
peoples of all nations in a freer, more
ioyous and more abundant lite.
BONUS SYSTEM AWARDS
CREDIT FOR EXCELLENCY
A bonus system, whereby students
can automatically receive extra credits
for excellency in scholarship, has been
adopted at the University of Nevada.
Bonuses are given on the following
basis: For every grade above 90 pe"-
cent he will receive a bonus of five
per cent of the number of hours. If
a student is taking a three-year course
and attains a grade of 90 he will be
granted 15 per cent credits more than
the three hours and will total 3.45
hours in the course. If he mawes 85
he will get five per cent more, or 3.15
hours. In this way a student taking
only 15 hours of work and getting an
average of 90 In all his work will re-
ceive credit for 17.25 hours.

If you have not already attended to

name on the decks you occupy in the

1 1 served a space for you. It's a good
I way of practicing self-control, and
helps to advertise the fact that you
are attending the institution, other-
wise people might not know it. It
shows that you are industrious be-
cause you are able to attend to a lec-
ture, taken otes, and carve your name
or perhaps a rarricature at the same
time. Besides this, it shows that you
are considtraic of others because by
carving and marking up the desks it
becomes necessary for the carpenters
to plane and vaanish the desks, thus
affording them employment during the
summer months while otherwise they
might be idle(?)

OR. BAUSLIN PAYS
VISIT TO SCHOOL
GENERAL SECRETARY OF BOARD
OF EDUCATION GAVE TWO STIR-
LING TALKS TO STUDENTS
Dr. Chas. S. Bauslin, general secre-
tary of the Board of Education of the
Lutheran Church of the United States
paid his annual and pleasant visit to
Susquehanna no Thursday. On that
morning the chapei service was post
poned to eleven o'clock to accommo-
date Dr. Bauslin who was not able to
be present before that time. He had
been scheduled tp arrive on March 12,
but on account of a serious sickness
was delayed two week:; and is still un-
der the doctor's care^nd accordingly
was compelled to make his visit short
and return to llarrisburj; the fsame day.
The students were all glad to receive
him, especially those of the upper clas-
ses who had enjoyed former visits
from him. And they were all glad to
lay aside their work and hear Dr.
Bauslin address them on the subject
"Putting the Spurt into Expert" which
was in brief as follows: *
He' prefaced his address by apolo-
gies for his condition and his tardiness
due to causes over which he had no
controll and even yet was not in prime
condiWon. He matie the Scriptural
basis of the remarks the statement of
St. Paul: "Thus one thing I do." Paul,
as one born out of due season, be-
came the greatest missionary and
changed the religion of Europe. He
went about nrpnoMrf "-d supported
.. , ad" ' of tentmak-
...Ihei" u ching or at
■nakinr la y "This one
thing I do." He had a determination
and^ purpose and Paul succeeded.
Success in every man's life depends
on the presence or absence of a con-
trolling pu)pose. The bulldog has the
■determination of his purpose and must
be pried loose with a crowbar but the
mongrel is easily shaken loose. A
program is necessary to every man's
life. Get a program and then build
well and hard. A bird had built a
nest in some l)ushes and there hatched
her young but in a few days the little
birds were devoured by a snake or
other bird enemy. The mother bird
had built too low. The program must
be worked. Every man has a bent and
usually only one. Few people are real-
ly versatile. More are Jack of all
trades and master of none. Therefore
be what you should be and follow your
bent. Decide what that is. Don't
drift into your life's work. Prepara-
tion is necessary for the success of the
program. Many young people are at-
tracted by the lure of money and leave
school to work for some monetary re-
turn. But mere money making is an
unworthy ideal. It takes only one
hour to learn to shovel. To put the
spurt into expert put pep into your
work. Use your head as you work and
have lots of ginger. It takes hard
work and most youths are unwilling
to start at the bottom and work up but
try to take a short cut. To put the
•purt into expert you must put pep
into your work. And you must have
the character to back up the rep.

REV. SAMUEL G. SHANNON
Rev. Samuel G. Shannon passed from
this life at his hon^e in Norwood on
Tuesday, March 19th at the age of
79' years.
Rev. Shannon was born in 1839 in
Centre County, where he received his
early education and followed his trade
as a carpenter. Later he entered Mis-
sionary Institute, where he graduated
in both Classical Cour.se. and Theology
in 1870.
Whilein school he served as field
secretary for Missionary Institute and
after graduation went to Milroy, where
heserved for 10 years as pastor of th»^
Lutheran church. From Milroy he
came tp Trinity church, where he serv-
ed for a number of years, after which
he was the pastor at Watsontown,
(Where he organized the first Christian
Endeavor Society in J-en'nsylvania, at
Sunbury. where he built the present
Zion church, and finished his long
career in the ministry at Bethany
church, Philadelphia, during which
pastorate he also served as president
of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Association.
In 1900 he retired from active serv-
ice and took up his residence at Nor-
wood, where he became postmaster at
the beginning of the Democratic ad-
ministration and held that office till
till' time of his death.
Rev. Shannon is survived by three
sons: George H. Shannon, Chief Bur-
gess of Watsontown; J. F. Shannon
of Norwood, and Rev, J. W. Shannon,
D. D., of Mt. Union, and three daugh
ters: Mrs. 1. G. VanValzob, of Spring-
field, Oregon; Mrs. Bert Buys, of
Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Margaret Roak,
of Norwood.
Since the presentation of Captain
Racket by the Senior Class March
19th there have been numerous re-
quests from those who saw it as well
as many who were unable to see it
that night that the class should repeat
it. This the class has decided to do
and the date has been set for Tues-
day April 16th.
New choruses will be introduced so
that the play will not be entirely the
same as before and those who saw it
before will be glad to see-' it again. I
The sentiment of everyone whcr was
present before was that Captain Rack-
et was the funniest play ever staged
in Selinsgrove. They all said that
they laughed more that night than
they ever laughed in the same time
in their lives.
The price this time will be the same
as before, 2,')C for general admission
and 35c for reserved seats. General
admission tickets are being sold by
members of the class. Reserved seats
are being sold at Bulick's Clothing
Store. If you buy a general admission
ticket from some member of the class
you can exchange it for a reserved
seat by paying the ten eents additional.
Have your seats reserved early as the
outlook is such that we expect all seats
to be taken in a short time. Now is
your opportunity to see this wonderful
play.

^^';^l America Has Decided to Help Gain Peace
of Europe and Mu^ Help Europe Pay
Price
The appeal to history shows us that
the history of civilization or political
history depends upon certain well de-
veloped trends. These trends would
seem to point out tliat the evolution
of races has made necessary accom-
panymg adaptations of governmental
forms. These political ciianges have
been accompanied by periodic geo-
graphical adjustments. This environ-
mental regulation of laccs constitutes
the "raison d'etre" o[ the facts of the
world's political history. Particularly
is this phenomenon evidenced in con-
tinental Europe, where the proximity
of races has fully manifested the im-
mutability of oporaton of this prin-
ciple.
From the fall of the .'static civiliza-
tion of Old Rome in 384, Modern
Europe has been in the making. The
process of development thru a con-
nected series of luodifications has
ment of 1815 have paved the way for
the third readjustment which is in the
process of making.
History has a certain resemblance
to wine in that it must age before it
is good. That is why it is extremely
hazardous to put great faith in con-
temporary histoiy and that i.s why this
generation cannot know' the principle
which guides the evolution. But re-
gardless of the principle, Europe Is
taking ones tep in advance. Likewise
regardless of this principle. United
States has taken a hand in the game.
Here we part company with prece-
dent. Hitherto Europe has pacified its
own contentious family. This time we
enjoy the unenviable position of the
outsider who attempts to heal the
family breach.
Whether or not the close of this con-
flict will usher in the political triumph
, . I of democracy is wiitten upon the up-
been gomg on thru the succeeding L,,,.r,o^ r,r.„ * i- ^ tt

MRS. J. I. KNEPSHIELD
Mrs. J. I. Knepshield died in the
sanitarium at Mercer Monday, March
25, 1918, at 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Knep-
shield has been in failing health for
several years. Two years ago she was was
'taken to the Mercer Sanitarium whcr""-
ishe spent several months and was
'quite improved in health when she re
turned. Lately Mrs. Knepshield be-
icame seriously ill and two weeks ago
was taken again to the Sanitarium.
This time she was pronounced incura-
ble.
Mrs. Knepshield is burvived by her
widower and two step-children, Laur-^
M., S. U. C. of M. '12, at home, and
centuries. Altho such development is
.t^radual and would show on a graph a
continuous inrreasine rtirve. history is
unable to represent it as such, hence
the historical account of the evolution
of Europe up to the present time is a
series of geographical readjustments
which might be represented by a num-
ber of steps upword.
As long as given system of political
science and its accompanying philoso-
phical interpretation held sway, com-
parative quiet reigned, but when poli-
tical unrest developed then the logical
outcome Ras been war. General re-
sorts to arms resulted in fieographical
readjustments always the treaties of
peace have been transcribed and sign-
ed with pens dipped in the blood of
the comon people who died that kings
and emperors might play for big
stakes in the game of geography.
Thus are the rules of the game laid
down. Here is how it has been played.
Between the fall of Old Rome and the
fall of New Rome there was one great
rift In the even lenor of events. That
the invasion of Europe by the

hordes of Asia. Out of this confusion
rose Charlemagne vith his Holy
Roman Empire. At th»» fall of New
Rome the followers of Islam forced a '
new adjustment. This time the de
votees of the Crescent made Constan-
tinople the center of the great Euras-
ian Empire.
We can emerge from the Middle

fact remains that we are going to sit
in with our Imperial friends of Europe
in tiiis newest game of .tceoRraphy. \Vc
seem to be safe from tlie fortunes of
the game, but if we play we must win
or lose.
It has already been pointed out that
the price of geographical readjustment
is reckoned in terms of shed blood of
the common people. If Europe has suf-
fered in the past in order to gain
peace, so she must now be crucified
to gain a peace of greater duration.
But what of the United States; we
have chosen to help gain the peace of
Europe hence we must with Europe
pay the Price of Peace. We must like-
wise pass thru that agony. It is tak-
ing the American people a long time
to become cognizant of the fact that
the price of our participation in the
conflict is not measured in dollars or
guns or ships but the calculation must
be made in terms of American man-
hood consumed. The gloss of our dai-
ly manner of life mal<e . us loath to put
aside the veil and view in the full
measure of its ugliness the mailed
specter which stalks this war-ridden
earth with no other business than to
cut down the best blood of nations.
Already some American boys have fal-
len and many more must fall. So
why not recognize this fact. Why not
think in ungarnished terms, the plain
truth tliat the Price must be paid by
our boys and that America's shrine in
the future will be France because of
the white crosses which will make it
hallowed ground.

THE WORLD AFTER THE WAR
Wliatever the great world was has
done, it is certain that in thousands
of sad and thoughtful homes, thruout
the globe, some such questions as
these have been asked and pondered:
Is human progress a mere illusion?
If the terrible and futile struggle is
compatible with civilization, and does
not reduce so-called progress to a
mockery and sham, what is the true
deflinilion of progress? Does a pro-
gress which renders sucli horrors pos-
sible, or which fails to prevent or ex-
clude them, signify or contain any-
thing worth while? To many it will
be a distinct surprise to hear that
there is a preliminary question con-
cerning the idea of progress. Our own
-~A <■• un fnmiliar with this idea and
ished, that few stop
osarding its past, Its^
Oijg.ii una < jpmcnt. To pant or
Bigh for a TJtopia, to dream of a new
heaven and earth, to believe that
human nature can be suddenly modi-
fied and a social order revolutionized,
is not necessarily to accept the con-
ception of progress.
Slavery was not abolished in the
United States by any single set of in-
fluences. Self interest, reason, emo-
tion, military necessity—all these con-
spired to bring about the step, and it
certainb was a prog'cssive step. Al-
war, a readjustment must take plact'
in which women shall have as clear a
right to speak as have men. This, with
the laws controlling the sale of liquors
will have an affect upon future genera-
tions, wliich is almost inconceivable.
Great Britain has loarmd that intox-
icating beverages are a detriment to
the manhaad of her country. If this is
true in times of war, is it not a lesson
learned for times of peace, as well?
Always with the coming of a new na-
tion two problcnns arise: that of the
moral effect of a new enlistment, and
that of the material aid the new belli-
gerent will bring. The entrance of
Italy quite transfonued the European
countries against Germany compara-
ble utterly with the fijht made against
Napoleon a century ago. The entrance
of America coinciding with the trans-
formation of Russia from a despotism
to a republic, unmistakably broadens
the issue of the war to a struggle be-
tween Autocracy and Demociacy.
Witli America's entrance the war be-
comes a fact, a war of liberation, it
becomes a war of ideas, because the
greatest of neutrals and the largest of
the world democracies, by its align-
ment with the opuonents of Germany
marks its mature and deliberate ver-
dict as to the German idea and Ger-
man purpose in the World. \
Materially, the Germans see the
very foundation of their commercial
structure being swept away, not alone
in Europe, but in Asia, Africa and the
two Americas. The resources of
America will not be available for the
reconstruction of Germany when the
war ends; all the bases of trade, the
result of long years of patient and in-
teligent effort, have been destroyea
and Germany will have to seek her
market among the nations now at war
with her when this struggle ends.
America transforms the war into a
world strug.gle and with her ideals of
democracy imperils the tutuie of Ger-
many, after the war, even more than
it reduces I lie chances of victory for
Germany in the war.
U Monarchy is to survive it must
speedily undergo the profoundest
modification. The old state of affairs
cannot continue. The European dy-
nastic Fj-stem, based upon the inter-
marriage of a group of mainly German
royal families, is dead today; it is
freshly dead but it is as dead as the
rule of Incas. It is idle to close our
eyes to the fact, The revolution in
Russia, the setting up of a republic m
China, demonstrating the ripeness of
ready we notice, as the outgrowth of
the great war, effects which are con- [the East for free institutions, the entry
ductive to future, industrial, moral j of the
and governmental progress. In Great poltics
Britain there is a new way lo indus-
trial i^ace, by giving tlie workers an
increased measure of control over the
conditions of their woiking life. Work
shop Councils of the employees have
been formed for the purpose of taking
into consideration the principal and
Belf-government in industry. Almost
at one stroke this principal of self-
government has been greatly extend-
ed. It is all part of a general move
ment toward the oigaiiized state. The
employers will form great combines.
The workers will continue to d(>velope
the strength of trade unions and will
exercise that strength in the control
of their working conditions. In the
next five years, workers control will
bo the most discussed item in Eng-
land's reconstruction.
The war has served to destroy a
deep-rooted opinion which no other ar-
gument had sufficed to remove. Wher-
ever one turns, WTjmen may be seen
who, without detriment to the preroga-
tives of their sex, are performing work
which before the war would have been
regarded as falling exclusively within

We are very sorry that we had to

luan and Bossier, but the country cal-

! CO our best even our all.
Janson '20, addressed the Dogtown
( ongregation Sunday evening.
Cole '20, was visited by his sister
ind brotherin-law on Thursday even-
■ng.
Treaster and Wagner motored to
McClure on Sunday.
Miss Dorothy Rearick is visiting at
UiG home of Miss Gertrude Leffler in
Mlddleburg.
The niPHsage whicli the speaker
brought to us was an exposition con-
cerning the ethical or moral relation-
ship, and the pagan relationship
which exists among mankind. The
pagan relation.'<hip is ihat which binds
us together in the Caesar sphere of
our live s, and our tribute must'be paid
in those things which belong to Caesar
The ethical or moral relationship is
that which unites us as Christians,
and our tribute must depend upon the
devotion to God. Just as we must set
apart a certain portion of our lives to
thefulflUment of our pagan obliga-
tions, so must a part of our lives be
consecrated for some service to God
with truest sincerity and faith in Him.
And fhen after an investigation of the
obligations of the two relationshps is
made, it can plainly be seen that the
best and noblest way to pay tribute to
Caesar is to pay tribute to God.
It seems that interest is beginning
to grow dull in our Y. M. C. A. work,
judging from the small attendance at
the last two meetings. There are only
a few more meetings to be held this
academic year, so let's make them a
success to the greatest degree. You
can help with your attendance.

DR. BAUSLIN'S ADDRESS
(Continued from First Page)
Character is prime essential to suc-
cess. Character and shrewdness are
an almost invincible combination.
Above all be honest. Then a man
must put the right estimate on life.
The old fastioned student came to
school for the sheepskin but many
modern students come to school- for
the pigskin. Brute force is not every-
thing in life. Many of the great men o!"
history were weaklings. The prize-
fighter and the athlete are not making
the world better. Many a prizefighter
can remove his shirt without unbol-
toning the collarband. On the other
hand intellectual brilliancy and mor-
ality are greatly to be desired and cul-
tivated. Everything depends on the
right estimate of life. Big men fix the
value of things and are not concerned
with their pay. Money is no measure
of the man. So we must work and
say like Paul "This one thing I do"
and may we do it so that at the last
days we may hear the words "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant."
At one o'clock Dr. Bauslin addressed
the male student body on the subject
"The Great War and the Collegian."
His address was very inspiring and full
of pep. He showed the responsibility
of thes tudent at the present and after
the war is over. Forceful and elo-
quent he impressed on thes tudents the
splendid thoughts that he brought and
frequently used splendid illustrations
The students more than enjoyed his
address.
He spent the rest of the afternoon
seeing the stuents, seminarians and
faculty and everywhere was enthus-
iastically received and welcomed. He
praised the hospitality of Susquehanna
and reassured the student body of his
interest, heart felt, for S. U. We sin-
cerely hope that his health may speed-
ily improve and that he will visit us
again soon.
The "SO EASY" Glasses are the em-
bodiment of Style and Beauty. They
are delicate and invisible. If you are
particular about your personal appear-
ance you will want the "SO EASY."

We are very .sorry to announce tlie
death of Philo and Clio Literary So-
cieties. They have been failing for a
long time, and last Friday evening
made one last effort to survive, but
failed iu having the majority of nieui-
be.'.s out. Under the circumstances
the end was not entirely expected.
Nevertheless it was quite a shock to
Susquehanna to lose both Societies at I
one time. Death was due to a long j
standing case of "loss of interest." L
is understood that both societies have
willed all their worldly goods to S. U.
o the institution is enriched by several
pianos, a hundred or more chairs,
books, several carpets, etc. Tht- halls
have been left for "the departed

be. Funeral services next Friday ev-

"THE PASSING OF A PEOPLE"
AN ESSAY ON HAWAII
An Intere^ing Discussion of Country, In-
habitants, and Customs of Our Island
, Possession
In these strenuous days of war and
of hardshir- tfvr jfre so mhny con-
tending inniors upon almost cvpiy sub-
ject tliaL most people have now be-
come incredulous and are inclined to
lake all statcnionls with "a grain of
salt." It is probable because of this
that little or no attention was given to
a recent report made by an American
member of the Hawaiian judiciary, to
the effect that the race of Polynetiians,
or pure Havraiians, is rapidly dying
out and is doomed to extinction. Thi;;
, report, however, is true — yes, only too
true! — and it is worthy of cojisiderf)-
tion. Are these people of so little im-
portant in the world that the pa>>sing
cf their race should entirely escape
our notice ? Let us remember thai
they are living, breathing human be-
ings like ourselves, and that, as God's
people, the./ must have some defmile
purpose in UU\ What is this pui-
pose, and to v.hat extent have they
been allowed to carry it out ?
It is doubt i ul whether many of the
citizens* of the Unite'd States really
know much nbout the Hawaiian
Island.'-, and knowing little, they care
even less. To most of them Hawaii is
no more than a name; or, perhaps, a
have done had they been given a
chance and a little encouragement.
The islands, were annexed to the
United States just nineteen years ago
and in these few years their native
population has decreased from two
hundred thousand to less than twenty-
six thousand. Think of it! The fact
is appalling and is c> riainly worthy
of our attention.
Hawaii is a wonderful country,
where there are altitudes rising from
palm-fronted coral beeches to snow-
capped summits fourteen thousand
feet in the air, and it is .said that one
can have a city home, a seaside homo
and a mountain home, all of which
may be visited by automobile within
two hours. Never before was so mucji
climate gathered together in one place I
on earth. .Situated is it is, remote in i
the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii
has received an immigration of alien
vegetable, insect, animal and human
life varied, and giving: rise to inoie
complicated problems than have con-
fronted any other land. It is the rapid
mflux of immigrants, chiofly fror-"
japan, Asia, and Spain, which has
caused the great decrease in the num-
ber of the original Hawaiian race.

Mr. Horton very pleasantly enter-

ening wiih an illu.stralcd lecture of
his trip thru California. During his
recent trip thru the land fo continuou.s
summer Mr. Horton secured many in-
teresting photographs of the wonder-
ful sights to be seen there and on
Thursday night shoved these to the
interested students and told many
tilings ahom. the different places. Hia
talk was both Instructive and enter-
taining and the students appreciated it
very much. They thank Mi-. Hortoii

LANTHORNS ARRIVE
The 1919 liaiithorn \vas received
from the publishers Saturday morning
and distribution uf (he same began
Monday. This years hook is consider-
able above the aveia.ge and is by far
the best book ever published at Sus-
quehanna. All (he eiimavings are ex-
ceptionally good and (he gold liorder
around the pages adds much lo the ap-
pearance. Several pages are filled
with §picy snapshols and the calendar
and jokes are excellent. The price is
$;5.00. This is a little more than in
former years but tht> better quality of
the book and the war prices accounts
for the advance in price. This book
should be in the home of every nhini-
nus and studen( ir you have not
ordered do so at once as the extra
supply is very limited.
"I reckon It's time to get up an' git;
But, Lord, I hain't had the meaRles
ylt!"
l)rieny: to put the colleges bf'hind this
tinupually extensive and popular move-
ment niMl to thereby ohiain a puldic
c.\pre.s.si6n of the attitude of the col-
I leges concerning Ihe question.
The methods proposed are, briefly,
as follows:
1, Hold a mass meeting to secure
student body endorsement of a peti-
tion to Congressmen and Senators and
to urge professors and students as in-
dividuals to petition Congress,
2, To send out dt'putaiion teams in-
to nearhy communities to urge the
s(>nding of similar petitions,
3, Publicity is to be ^iven the
campaign by the college papers and
especially prepared posters.
Who has earned a lietter right to
speak to Congress comeniiiig war
legislation than the colleges of Amer-
ica? What other institution has sent
so large a percentage of its eligibles
to support the colors? What other
institution had as high a percentage
of noble clean-cut chaps to send?
Who goes more cheerlully than they?
.\nd who will make better soldiers?
Success in securing war prohibition
will save for the fellows in France:
Food, 2,500,000,000 pounds.
Fuel, 66,000,000 tons.
Labor, of over 300,000 men.
Failure in securing war prohibition
means at home:
Heatless, wheatless, meatless days.
Lightless nights.
War bread.
Food riofs.

ice as second class matter.

History unearths the past for six
thousand years. It finds man with a
barbarous soul, in spite of the gain
of faculty and invention. Scientists
and philosophers have proof that the
world is many thousand years old.
Then we must think in centuries no
longer, but in ages, for we realize the
shortness of tliis historic period. Al-
tho the advance of man thru this
small period is marvelously quickened
these scant six thousand years are
but sunlit ripples on the flood of un-
told ages. A little time is adequate
for reason to reach dominance over
the age-long heritage of other instincts.
Obviously the reign of the spirit is not
yet. God's power Beems not fully to
control the lust of matter and the
violence of men, any more than human
reason quite controls rage and bodily
desire. There are many "doubting
Thomases" in the world today.
We have entered the greatest war
ever waged, not for territorial posses-
sions and! nderanities, but for justice,
tho rights of peace, and the deliver-
ance of the world from brutal violence.
The United States has doclorod war
upon the German Government because
of the danger that threatened us, be-
cause of tho horrible sack of Bel-
gium and the evil designs of Germany
tipon our own country. We fight for
the cause of right and truth Ihruout
the world, to protect our own demo-
cracy and Insure our future safety, as
well as that of hU the peoples of the
world. God grant that the spirit in
which weh ave entered the war may
continue to be pure, and that our
bands may still be clean at the close
of this great adventure.
It is true that the present war has
devastated Europe with horrors that
can scarcely be put into language.
Where there were once flourishing
fields, there are now barren lands;
where there were once progressive
cities, there is now only dobria of
mortar and stone, such woeful des-
truction as never known 1)efore.
WTiere there were once happy homes,
there are now Midowed mothers,
fatherl(',s.4 children and broken hearted
lovers. Now, instead of the happy
song of the maiden, thi- shriek of
bursting shell and tho booming of
deadly cannon resound all over the
land.
We must not confine our thoughts to
the horrors of the present but we
must look to a happier and brighter
future. Wc must remember that the
war cannot last always, but that there
will come a time, God grant that tho
time is near, when the cannon shall
cease to epit its fire and death and the
sword shall be beaten into the plow-
shear. We clearly see the progress of
the world of man, and God points to
a time when tlie finer spirit of God
and man will have triumphed over the
blending desires and abominable
thoughts that have produced their
natural results in the present war.
The peak is far and high. Impatient
peace societies will vainly seek a
short cut to "Mt. Pisgah."
We cannot determine the future of
[hv. world. It does not appear as a
clear vision, but we can see the future
dimly, as thru smoked glasses; the
victory of the Allies, the fall of Prus-
sian Militarism, democracy ruling the
world, and nations observing cheer-
fully the "golden rule," making a
peaceful world that the Greater would
be pleased to look upon and be proud
of as the glorious work of His own
hand.
All peace arbitration has utterly
failed in this war. The Germans have
had instilled into their blood the de-
sire and ambition to conquer the world.
At present, peace could not be secured
b yarbitration without yielding to the
plans of the Germans. This would
mean the defeat of the principles for
which America stands. There can be
no safe, lasting, and worthy peace
made until the downfall of the Hohen-
zollern rule. This means the Allies
must win a desicive victory upon the
field. Without removing this family
from the throne there will be no dur-
able peace. In 1814 the cry rang thru
Europe "enough of Bonaparte"; so,
today the world looks upon the Hohen-
zollern dynasty. Napoleon Bonaparte
was indeed fearful to the world of
that day, but the world has awakened
to the truth of his statement at St.
Helena, when he said, regretfully: "I
made the mistake of my career when
I had the opportunity, that I did not
remove the Hohenzollerns from the
throne of Prussia. As long as this
house reigns and until the redcap of
liberty is erected in Germany there
will be no peace in Europe." We rea-
lize the truth of this statement. WTiat
value could be attached to any pledge
or guarantee that the Kaiser would
now give as a condition of 'peace? If
any nation were ready to make peace
upon the assurance of the Kaiser that
in the future he would respect its
rights, the fate of Belgium, the scorn-
ful treatment of solemn treaties as
scraps of paper, would give such a na-
tion ground to stop and think twice
before risking its life and honor to a
German made peace.
But peace will be established. A
peace to compensate the world, and
the plans of peace of America will
likely be the fundamental principles
of the future world. The high seas
shall be free. Belgium, Roumania,
Serbia, Armenia, and the Balkan
Slates shall be restored and democra-
sy shall reign supreme. German ships
will lie rotting at their docks, manu-
factories idle, banks swept by a hur-
ricane Of financial disaster. The peo-
ple of America, France and Great
Britain will have a hatred for the
Germans. This did not exist at the
beginning of the war, but has arisen
during the struggle. It will be many
years before they will, without urgent
necessity, have business relations
with the Germans. Tiavel will be
paralyzed. The German citizens shall
learn the full truth as to the origin of
the war, and they will realize, as rea-
lize they must In due time, that Ger-
many could have prevented the war
had its Imperial government had any
yielding spirit to the almost pathetic
pleadings of France and Great Britain
for a peaceful adjustment of the con-
troversy.

The meeting was ably conducted by
Charles Drumm. The speaker for the
f vening was Mr. Shelly, the editor of
itie "Sunbury Daily Item," and the
message which he brought to us was
both inspiring and instructive.
WTien Elijah was made to flee for
Ills life because of the ill will which
I He inilers of Israel held against him,
I i> became weary oT trying to do God's
will in the midst of great trials and
(liflQculties, and sought to die. But
'yvd came to Elijah in his flight and as
h" was sitting beneath the juniper
tioe, God asked "what doest thou
1) re Elijah?" At this place Elijah has
it vision of new possibilities and great-
II- work. He learn that he is still to
Hnoint kings and perform God's work
luaong His chosen people.
How much we are like Elijah. For
just as Elijah had talents for doing
wonderful work for the upbuilding of
Ood's kingdom, so have we talents
which we are expected to use for His
service. And then too, like Elijah.
we often become tired and are ready
to quit. However let us not falter
but let us make a completed work our

j (Continued from First Page)
j A long war followed by poverty.
I It is to be hoped that individual stu-
dents and professors will not consider
their duty in this matter discharged
by simply voting in the mass meeting
to have the school petition Congress.
The influence upon your Congressman
of a personal letter from you, whether
he knows you or not, is hard to meas-
ure. One personal letter may have as
much weight as a petition representing
the whole student body. Here is an il-
lustration of what personal letters can
do. In the 1916 election Herschel L.
Washington, a 19 year old sophomore
in Kansas University was elected
County attorney of Wichita County.
He refused to leave college to cam-
paign. How did he win in the election?
By writing a personal letter to every
voter in the county. Try it on your
Congressman and Senators.
This spring the State I. P. A. Con-
ventions being held in different parts
of the nation have been very prompt
in petitioning Congress for War Pro-
hibition. This was done very effect-
ively by the Southern New England
Convention recently held at Harvard
University.
This is the tomorrow you looked for
yesterday, when you should tell your
Congressman and Senators at Wash-
ington that you want War Prohibition.
Petition your Congressman and Sen-
ators at Washington for War Prohibi-
tion. Do it yourself— -don't "leave it
to George."

The effect of defeat upon a ruined
and impoverished Germany whose first
born are slain and the lintels of one
sixth of whose homes are spla.shed
with the very lifeblood of the nation,
will indeed bea terrible retribution.
The vision is dim, but it shall burst
forth and shine wth the light of the
morning sun peeping over the hori-
zon, making the very universe beam
with glory as tho the past were to be-
tray and destroy the national sin,
coveiuousness. Nations will be dis-
armed and formed into a league which
shall protect the small and the weak
from the power of the greedy and sel-
fish. This league will give equal
right to all, special privilege to none.
Wrong and might will be replaced
with truth and justice, and all shall
enjoy righteous liberty, equality and
justice. Wasted France and Belgium
will be restored. The world will be
free, fully dedicated to the pursuits of
liberty and happiness.

the time away just watching the peo-
ple pass. The other day our section
was out to see the palace of Louis
XIV. That sure is some place. The
' \ ^alace itself is 700 yards long and
there are acres and acres of parks. In
one big room the walls are covered
with paintings representing the his-
tory of France; all her great l)attles
and men. All the rooms are of mar-
ble and gilt with paintings and statu-
ary everywhere. In one room the
sides are all covered with mirrors and
the ceiling decorated with beautiful
paintings and carvings. Th^ flair-
ways are all marble and hardwood
floors all thru the palace. It sure is
beautiful. They have a chapel in the
palace, all of marble and gilt with
paintings on the walls and ceilings
and carvings everywhere. The seats
are covered with yelvet and the altar
is overlaid with gold. Just that room

about 20c in our money). In another

Last Monday the German students
balked at a sehcduliMl (lernian exam-

tion was staged in protest of the
study of German, and the exam. The
effigy of the Kaiser was brought forth
by the re])ellious students and burned
with fitting cercmoties. The German
text books were collected and served
as fuel for the anitiilious Monarch's
funeral pyre. About 10:30 p. am. the
male students congregated in front of
Seibert Hall to complete the celebra-
tion. The coeds soon gathered at
the windows and on the porch of Sei-
bera Hall and more German text books
were thrown out to feed the bonfire.
During the celebration speeches were
made in several languages, each
speech being loudly applauded.
';Pappy" expressed the pledge of Italy;
"Bill" Janson the Hebrew scorn; Russ
Auman, the American determination;
Hard Guy Shoaf, an appear to buy war

to buy Liberty Bonds, and A. S. Uyeda,

PROF. R. J. MEYER

Ex-president Shoaf and I'residenL Al-

M. C. A. presidents of the colleges
located in eastern Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Marj land and Delaware at the
University of Pennsylvania from April
19 to 21. The conference was enter-
tained by Penn and nearly all the
meetings held in her spacious build-
ings. At the conference were repre-
sented Princeton, Lehigh, John Hop-
kins Medical, Haverford, Gettysburg,
Juniata, Lebanon Valley, Muhlenburg,
Ursinus, Lafayette, Eastern Maryland,
and others. The delegates were enter-
tained individually at the fraternity
houses. Many delegates arrived early
and spent the afternoon of the nine-
leentli seeing the city. The first ses-
sion was the evening of the nineteenth
in a room of a medical society in
Houston Hall. Ormand Milton, presi-
dent of the Penn organization, opened
the meeting and presided. Van Ducen
of Princeton, spoke strongly on the
idea of maintaining this year more
than ever before in our colleges an un-
compromising stand against all unraor-
ality as well as immornlitv. '^'^■'ith
the retiring president of John Hopkins,
Md., made clear the opportunity to
reach the fellows who would soon be
giving their lives "over there." Mr.
Porter, one of the big men in Y. M.
work, spoke inspiringly on making this
year the best yet. The session the
next morning was held in the rooms
of the International club, a home
maintained by the Penn Y. M. C. A.
for the foreign students. The meeting
was presided over by Mr. Porter and
was a general conference. Objectives
and methods to gain these objectives
were disc\issed. The confeience un-
animously decided that there is more
reason for the existence of a Y.M.C.A.
organization this year than ever be-
fore.
In the aflernoon the confereiu (^ was
held in the same rooms and at this
time was discussed the advisability
of holding a conftMence of each Y.M.
Cabinet before the school term h(>gins.
It was generally agreed that it was a
good plan for the cabinet to return to
school a few days early and prepare
for the year's work just as tlir foot
ball team returns weeks early to begin
training. This meeting was adjourned
for the Penn-Lehigh base liail and la-
crosse games. Dinner that evening
was served in lh(> Univrisily House, a
building maintained in the setdemenL

the delegates enjoyed a social hour.

EOPLE
(Continued from last week.)
The Hawaiian.'; themselves are a lov-
able and loving race. Love i.s the
very essence of their being. To them
it is "the greatest thing in the world,"
a.s Henry Drummond calls it, .and it
even shows itself in their language:
instead of our cold and formal "How
do you do?" their commonest form of
greeting is "Ahoha," meaning "love"
or "1 love you." They love their land,
their countrymen, and above all they
love the earth, the .sky and the ocean
— not for their usefulness but for
tlieir beauty. They are content with
Nature as she has .revealed herself to
man from the beginning of time and
they never made any changes. Na-
ture reigned supreme in their land and
they were dominated by her almost as
though by a god. By no cultivation
of the soil, by no huge unsightly ma-
chinery did they bond hfi- forces, or
mar her perfect beauty; nor did she
fail to reward them. Nowhere does
fruit grow in greater quanlitie.s; no
where is food more abundant. If these
people love Nature, surely she re-
turns their affection for she has free-
ly lavished her lovliest gofts upon
them. The Hawaiians eeem to come
naturally by all the qualities that
civilization aims to imstill in the in-
dividual and they po.ssess all the
gentler vrtues. For generations they
lived, bapiiy and care-free, in their
wonderfully beautiful island home and
poets who have lived there have writ-
ten as though they had rediscovered
the .springs of human virtues in the
people around them.
Then came the annexation of Ha-
wiiJ), to the United States and soon the
industrious fortune hunters poured in-
to the i.sland.s from Europe, Asia, and
other parts of the world. Tliey tilled
the soil and found it wondi'ifuliy pro-
ductivf'; they formed corporations and
carried on commerce on a laige scale;
and they began to grow rich in this
strange new land, whose inliabilants
had not taiten advantage of their gold-
en opportunities. All nature was
changed and bound as by chains to
.serve man — now her master— while
the natives looked on sadly and help-
lessly. They scarcely realized their
fatherland, so different was its appear-
ance—still bea^itiful, but with a kind
of forced and artificial beauty— so
hurried and bustling was the business
oanied on in the great cities which
spiang up liiie jiiushrooras; so won-
derful were some of the duties which
Natu ' v.i ma^'e to perform. After
the first shock was over, the Hawaiian
people took hold of and tried to solve,
intelligently and whole-heartedly, the
problems confronting them. With
their charactiristic love and trust they
r;^ceivcd the strangers with open arms
and strove to follow in their footsteps,
but the struggle was too hai'd for them.
They were incapable of changing their
lives so rapidly; of keeping up with
the foreigners in their mad rush for
efficiency and speed; and of meeting
the exacting demands of industrial
process. They could not go back to
their old habits and manner of living
for the very atmosphere of their
islands had been changed. Very rap-
idly — alarmingly so — they began to
die out; those who were able to with-
stand the strong onslaught of the for-
eign immigrants soon intermarried
with the various other races, and it
is evident that the pure Hawaiians are
doomed to extinction in a very few
years. They are completely dominated
and overcome by the stronger and
more progressive people who have in-
vaded their land and the Hawaiian
strain is continually growing thinner
and thinner and soon will vanish into
thin air.
Some people may think that this is
of little consequence; that the Ha-
waiians are of little use and may strug-
gle for speed and efl3ciency — but is
this all that is worth considering in
life? Are there not some other things
quite as valuable — yes, even more so
than these? What will our 'life be
worth in the end if there is no time
for enjoyment in it? The Hawaiians
are an incurably ingenious people,
gifted with all the ideal qualities —
idyllic faith, generosity, credulity,
courage, and, above all, a love of the
beautiful — qualities which, if, cutivat-
ed by all mankind, would be invalu-
able as a leaven in this tumultuous
world of ours. These people had no
selfish and unscrupulous struggles for
individual power and glory; no con-
tinual striving for greater than any-
thing before achieved. Quietly and
contentdly they lived their peaceful
lives, enjoying Nature untrammeled
and undisturbed. It is their very
idyllic qualities, however, which are
now causing the downfall of the race,
and when at last the Hawaiians follow
the American Indians upon the road
that has no turning they will leave as
a memorial only a little wild music
in the air, and possibly, in some
minds, an intangible feeling that some-
thing has been lost which, while it
was In existence, was not appreciated
s it should have been. In these mad-
ly-rushing times of kultur and counter-
kultur, of speed and efficiency, the
Hawaiian race Is gradually going to
its doom, unable to keep pace with the
galloping world. While we may look
upon the dying ^ut of this race with
little or no emotion; while we may
consider it of no importance, there is
a lesson in it which we all should
learn. Let us remember that one ex-
treme is as bad as the other, that too
much eagerness for efilciency may be
even worse than none at all; and let
us learn to mingle, as a fiavoring, with
our material world a little of the iedal-
islic as well, for truly,

plan most of the playing is done in the
evening and after supper twilight
games have proven quite popular.
The young ladies of Wellesley have
displayed their spirit tiy recently de-

ALUMNI NOTES
W. S. Ilafer and wile, who have
pppnl the last few months at Miami,
Kloiida, have returned to th<ir home
in HanisbuvK- Mr. Hafer reijresented
the Keystone Pecan Co. while in
Florida. He reports Florida as an
ideal place to spend the winter. The
temperalure wa;- about 70-85 degrees
all winter. There was only need for
flre about two weeks.
Y. M. C. A. APRIL 23, 1918
The meeting was conducted by Chas.
Drumin, who after the opening exer-
( ises introduced the speaker of the
evening, Mr. Keefer, of Sunbury. His
address to the boys was a gem and
certainly very profitable to all those
wlie heard it. "^^
'J'o stumble about in the darkness
of .sin is the fate of many of us until
we have found the light that leads to
a righteous and a Christian life, an ''■
rmtil we learn that Christ has said 'I
am the light of the -world : he that f o'-
loweth me shall not walk in darknesf.
Imt shall have the light of life." ^nd
then having found the Christian way
of livins, we must have a heart en-
ihusod for service to Him who has
saved us from darkness. Now the
Question arises of how we who have
just been saved from the depth of sin
can be of any service in the upbuild-
ing of God's kingdpm. As an answer
we have only to look to those Bibical
characters who were men favored by
God and chosen by Him for some
work. Solomon prayed and received
wisdom, Moses prayed and received
guidance, Gideon and Joshua prayed
and were the successful leaders of
I God's chosen people, Christ prayed and
was never forsaken. These men and
many others received through prayer
the qualities needed to make them of
service to God, and this same oppor-
tunity lies before us all. It may hap-
pen that in order to be of true serv-
ice, we must make sacrifices; but let
us not forget that self denial for the
cause of Christ is one of the noblert
aims of life. Christ himself says, "If
any man will come after me, let him
deny himself and take up his cross and
follow me."
Thus it stands. The light of Christ
leads us from the darkness of sin into
a Christian life, a Christian lite leads
us into a life of service, and a life of
service requires a prayerful life and u
life of self denial.

by the royalty. The largest and most
elaborate one weighed 7 tons and cost
two hundred thousand dollars. It was
only used twice, so that makes it one
hundred thousad a ride. Pretty ex-
pensive, but those kings didn't care
for expense. I don't know how many
million dollars that place cost.
The grounds around the palace are
beautiful. All full of lakes and groves
and statues. You can walk for miles
and not go outside the gates. Lakes
and fountains and groves of trees are
all laid in certain designs. We saw
a little peasant's village, not really a
peasants village, but built like one,
where the king and ladies went and
lived like peasants (You know how
I hey would live like peasants for a
vacation. It sure was interesting and
i wouldn't have missed It for anything.
It is 'getting to seem more like war
right along. We have experienced two
air raids so far. The fujiny thing
about it is, that I never got awaks
during the last one which was the
worst. In the morning the fellows
(old me about it and at first I wouldn't
Ijelieve them.
The next time you send a box you
might send some tobacco and cigar-
ettes along. We aren't near any Y.
M, C. A. now and they are pretty hard
to get. You can hardly get any
French tobacco and when you do it is
awful tasting stuff. The Frenchmen
nearly pester the life out of you for
tobacco and cigarettes. Write often
for It goes good to get letters frona
home. I am feeling fine and like it
all right here. Must close naw ond go
i bed.
Lovingly,

Y. M. v. A. ECHOES
( Continued from rage One)
R. Mott will preside. The views of
Northfield were beautiful and the talk
spirited. The morning meeting on
Sunday, the twenty-first, was held in
the Tabernacle Presbyterian church.
At this meeting Bible study groups
were discussed.
The afternoon session in the Interna-
tional club house concluded the con-
ference. The financial side of the Y.
M. C. A. was discussed then. The en-
tire conference was inspiring and help-
ful. Rev. Harry, the Lutheran Student
pastor at Penn, attended all the ses-
sions and met with the Lutheran dele-
gates on Sunday evening for a short
conference concerning applying the
suggestions of the conference to the
Lutheran Colleges. Susquehanna's
representatives received their share of
the enthusiasm and pep of the confer-
once, became acquainted with repre-
sentatives of other schools and in gen-
eral enjoyed themselves. They will
now be able to push with new and in-
telligent vigor *the work of the Y. M.
C. A. at S. U. for the comink year.
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Where
fore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and
day.
For what are men better than eheep
or goats.
That nourish a blind life within the
brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of
prayer,
Both for themselves and those who call
them friends?
For so, the whole round earth Is every
way
Bound by gold chains about the feet
of God.— Lord Tennyson.

SHIKELLIMY SOUGHT BY SOPHS
AND JUNIORS— MAHANOY THE
MECCA OF FRESH. AND SENIORS
The recesses of Old Shikellimy
were again disturbed last Saturday
when a crowd o." students picniced
there. The Soyliomore and Junior
classes accompanied by several oihor
students tool< a day off and went to
arouse the old chief from his slum-
bers. Under the chaperonage of
Prof, and Mis. lirungartthe jolly crew-
left the campus about 9:30 for the
historic hill.
About 12:00 o'clock Prof. Keener
arrived and Iher the fun started. Be-
fore he was llTere five minutes all the
other fellows were jealous of him be-
cause he was swiping all their girls.
Then the call for dinner was sounded
and all this was foigotten in the haste
to get at the victuals. Soon the merr •
bunch were crowded around the laden
table trying to .satisfy (heir ravenous
appetites.
After the meal, Director Keener and
his troupe put on a very tragic Movie.
Papenfus, Reinhold, Schoch and
Ulrich, Long, and Janson were' the
leads while several others took minor
parts. After a court tinal Ulrich was
sentenced to be thrown over the cliff
and the sentence was about to be ex-
ecuted when the person he was sup-
posed to have murdered turned up
alive.
After a-r>-hort t.ni« Keei^er :eft and
then the scene changed. The party
scattered and explored the varioufi
nooks and crannies which mar the
rugged face of the old chief.
About six o'clock they all assem-
bled again for supper. After a de-
lightful meal they staried home tirod
but happy.

Cig <iuPstions— crucial and world
wide in meaning are constantly arising
in these dizzy time.s of war. Kot one-
not even our expert ofiBcials at '-\'aHh-
ington — can always feel certain that
their answers and solutions are the
most correct possible. Of a few things,
however, all can be certain. For ex-
ample should it be discovered that
there is in America an institution
which consumes each year the above
named amount of war necessities and
gives in return worse than nothing,
then even the most timid need have no
hesitancy in declaring that thai insti-
tution should be refused the right to
operate— at least for the period of the
war. The liquor traffic is guilty of
that and more. For what more effec-
tive an ally in America could the
Kaiser ask?
In the name of patriotism that is
practical and for the sake of noble lads
far away who are laying everything
upon the altar of Democracy, some
effort, to swat the Kaiser's best ally
"over here," must be made— not by a
hazy indefinite "somebody else," but
by you yourself, each American as an'
individual.

THE DEBTS OF THE WARRING
NATIONS
The London Economist for February
places the total gross debt of Great
Britain at 5,678,600,000 pounds ($27.-
636,000,000).
The French minister of Finance in
presenting the budget for 1918 psti-
mated the public debt of France on
December 31, 1918, at 115,166,058,000
francs (122,227,000,000).
The public debt of Italy at the pnd
of 1917 is estimated at about :',5,fl00.-
000,000 lire ($6,676,000,000).
The debts of the Contra! Powers arc
estimated as ioilows: C< rniany, $25,-
408,000,000; Austria, $13,314,000,011(1;
and Hungary, $5,704,000,000.
Our own pul)lic debt is now around
$8,000,000,00n, but more than half of
this amount lia.'i been loant-d to our
Allii's and will be leiiaid us. It is es-
timated that of the total net expendi-
tures of the iiiiud .Slates for fiscal
year of 1918, exclusive of our advances
to our Allies, more tlian one-half will
be defrayed by taxation.
Delightful! The best ever witness-
ed! Such were the expressions heard
after the orreretta last Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings from many ph'as-
ed patrons. The operetta .staged bj
the voice department of the Conserva-
tory of music was delightful in the ex-
treme, a great success. Never in the
histoiy of the department was there
any production equal to Princess
Chrysanthemum. All thru fi'om i-
ginning to end ii was a most pk '
performance.
The .story is a vfry pretty on-^. A
great fete is being held in honor of
the coming of age of Princess Chry..-
anthemum. Miss Marion Charles. She
is loved by Prince So-Tru, Selin D.
Ulrich, and returned his affections;
but he has a rival in the person of
Prince So-Sli, Samuel Koinman, who
seeks the aid of Saucer-Eyes, the Wiz-
zard Cat, William Decker, who carries
off the princess to the cave of Inky
Night, leaving the Eni.ieror, Prof. N.
N. Keener and Prince So-Tru dis-
tracted at her disappearance. The
Princess, imprisoned in the cave of
Inky Night, with tlie aid of a magic
ring summons the Fairy Moonbeam,
Miss Jennie Botdorf, who is about to
help her when she drops the ring and
cannot iind it. Fairy Moonbeam dl-
appears at the loss of the ring and the
unhappy Princess is left lo bewail her
fate. Prince So-Tru manages to ob-
tain entrance to the cave and find.s the
ring, which at once causes Fairy
Moonbeam to return and aid him. At
this moment the Emperor arrives with
hsi atli.idants and takes Soucer-Eye.«i
Prisoner. Threatened with torture he
confesses the complicity of Prince So-
Sli wliini the Kraperor orders to in-
*nnr execution. Thi«! is frustrated by
apr"'aranrT. of Princess ciu^san-
thenn.i npanied by Fairy Moon-
f»*^^'- I ! uiperor paidons feaucer-
Eye.s and So-SIi at the Princess's re-
quest and gives her hand in marriage
to So-Tru and brings everything to a
happy conclusion.
Top-not, the Court Chamberlain, U.
H. Middleswortb, sang a very pretty
solo as did the Princess; So-Tru;
Tulip, Miss McCool; Saucer-Eyes'
Fairy Moonbeam; So-Sli, and Chu-
Chin-Chow, R. F. Auman.
Tulip and So-Tru had a beautiful

THE BASIC REASON
Someone ha ihe love of
self is th'' ' ' .1 human ac-
t; n (tiai , (lysis every
action of man may be and is trace-
al))e to uian'h iiihevenl instinct of sel-
fishness. In the broad sen.se of the
term, selfi.sbncss is bolli beneficial and
detrimental. The only possible was of
emasuring the results of man's love of
self is to determine whether or not
the results of his actions are beneficial
or detrimental to others.
It has been said that the fundamen-
tal basis of charity is selfishness — that
we help the poor and needy not so
much because we would alleviate their
suffering — but because we are selfish
about our own frame of mind and that
helping these unfortunates brings
with it a feeling of annoyance. Be
that as it may. the results of the ac-
tions are more important, and no one
will deny or contend that man should
refrain from helping— simply beoause
he is selfish about his feelings.
Then there is a selfishness which is
narrow and perverted. The selfish-
ness which is based on the doctrine
that one's own comfort, advantages,
and principles .'^hould be attained in
disregard, or at the expense of the
comfort, advantages, and principles of
others, a telfi.'ihness which* believes
and teaches that the welfare of the
"I" is the supreme law; a selfishness
which is based on power and money;
a selfishness which does not hesitate
to caluminate, plot, and spread dis-
sension in ordor <'•-' ' lay be of ad-
. ^hness which
: u •■ nant of bar-
•vtiiCh disregards
uii laws of God and man.
Todfiy there is bring carried on the
l»igge.st battle cif selfishness the worlO
has ever seen, it is a battle between
a democrat if selfishness based on the
principles ot life, liberty, and the pu''-
sult of happiness; and an autocratic
Belfishness based on "might makes
right'', a selfi.-hnc.ss bas<d on despot-
ism and the suppression of the rights
of others, a selfishness which would
deny Christ and Cluislianity in order
to attain Us purpose. The one is up-
held by the selfishness for power by
an autocratic niler who drives and
compels his subjects to fight for his
own gain and benefit. The other is a
voluntary support given by a selfish-
ne.ss which Americans have for the
principle.'* of right and wrong, for the
principles of human liberty, for their
homes, for their economic rights, and
for their country.
The Allies are carrying on this war
berause they arc selfish. They are
selfish of the democratic principles of
government; they arc selfish of their
economic rights and privileges; they
arc sellisli for Ih- voirare of fheii'
homes and countiy. The same is
true of those v, bo support the work ol
the Liberty ho;u\, ]Ud Cross, Y. M. C,
A., ScildiiTs and Sailors Welfare fund
and all measures which will help win
the war. The Susquehanna men wlio
are in the cantonments are not there
because they love warfare— but they
are selfish of American ideals, rights,
and principles. The Susquehanna men
who are now on foreign battlefields
did not cross the waters because they
thought that war is romantic or sport
— but because of this selfishness fo;'
the Stars and Stiipes. American men
do not leave their wives, children, and
promising careers because they are
militaristic — but because their selfish
love for what is ri,ght and just com-
pels them to do so when an autocratic
selfishness would trample under foot
all that we possess.
All men are selfish. Their actions
are based either on democratic or
autocratic principles of selfishnesp.
You and I must take a selfish attitude
towards "making the world safe for
democracy." Our selfishness is either
broad erou:,h fo see that our prosper- J
ity, privileges, and ideals depend upon
our winning the war; or our selfish-
ness is the narrow autocratic type
which would "Let George do it," which
does not observe meatless and wheat
less days, and which is so painfully
narrow that we cannot see that on the
result of the war depends our ultimate
happiness and prosperity. It \s a nar-
row minded selfishness which causes
a person to think that by not giving
financial aid to the war measrue?
that he has prifiled — when the resuU
of such actions on th'.> part of ail
would result in the payment of inden--
nities almost incalculable. It is a
pitiable ingnorance which causes an
able bodied young man to seek ex-
emption, and to think that he has gain-
ed an advantage — when such action
may result in subjection to conditions
which w^ould be unbearable to an
American citizen. Upon the actions
of each man, woman, and child will
depend the result of this war. Our
ultimate prosperity and happiness will
depend upon our selfish support of
American principles and ideals.
S. U. MILITARY COMPANY
The Susquehanna Military Company
took part in the Liberty Loan parade
last Friday evening. On the march
they executed several diflQcult mili-
tary maneuvers and after the parade
a brief exhibition drill was held. The
boys, under the command of Capt
Weaver, have become quite expert in
their movements and are a credit to
the school.
(Coiitinued from First Page)
her success. She is a master of her
profession as was shown in the re-
sults in this operetta. Professoi
Keener instructed the cast on the
stage and as usual had a great suc-
c(>ss. He is one of the best men in
his line in the country and has never
once failed in a production. He is
head of the department of Expression
in the l^niversity.
Mrs, Ayer and Professor Keener
were greatly assisted l>y Miss Jess
McCool who was untiring in her ef-
lorts to make tl\e operetta a success
especially in the dances. Several oth-
er students as well as several friends
also assisted in makin.g the whole af-
fair a grand success.
This operetta was Ihoroly enjoyed
and it is hoped that there will be sev-
eral held next year.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The meeting was ably conducted by
Ellis Lecrone, who introduced the
speaker, Mr. Dewitt, of Sunbury. His
topic being The Call of Abraham. The
study of mankind is a very interesting
study. For two thousand years
Plutarchs lives have gripped the hearts
of men until the present day. The
most interesting autobiographies are
those Washington,, Franklin, Lincoln,
•1 ivcix oi th >ir type. Many men
'■iarti'd In the ■ life for God and man
ic response ' ., 'all which they heard
...lu lived up to. Moses heard God's
call and became the leader of the
Israelites; Paul on his way to Damas-
cus; Luther seeing the wrongs of his
day; Lincoln witnessing the slaves
.'^old, heeded God's call and delivered
them. Thus we see many great ca-
reers have begun with a distinct call.
The call of Abraham the greatest
and most resorceful man of his day
may be divided as follows: From
t: To what: For what.
From what: From Ur of the Clial-
idees up to Haran not because it was
r or Haran, but because God called
im from the land of wickedness and
Idolatry to become the father of a new
race. He told him about the land but
Hdn' tell him where it was. He lived
a tents among heathen in order to do
lod's service and establish His King-
dom.
To what: We are called to be a bless-
ing to the world as Abraham was cal-
d. To do good by leading exem-
plary lives, and to carry sunshine to
weary hearts. As Abraham was cal-
I' d to be a great leader; so are we cal-
( d if we but heed the call to become
caders of the mighty forces and agon-
ies to suppress wickendess and idol-
try.
For what: "And 1 will make thee a
!reat nation." The bl«sslng was not
irlmarily for Abraham but for all
Iknow and deserve to know that edu-
cated citizens are ready to stand with
them in anything that will make the
country stronger to do its duty at this
critical hour. Therefore hundreds of
thousands of individual Americans are
making a titanic effort by means of
ptutioi'i letters and telegrams to give
Congress this assurance.
All over the nation college students
and professors at the suggestion of the
Intercollegiate Prohibition Association
are getting into this big patriotic
movement.
You Can Do This: Write a personal
letter to each of your Senators and to
your Congressman. Make it brief and
pointed. He will want to know chiefly
that you are a college student; that
you want him to favor the bill for War
Prohibition when it comes up in Con-
gress, and a few sensible reasons why.
Such a letter from you will have
more influence than you think. Re-
cently a Congressman said to a repre-
sentative of the I. P. A., "Men in Con-
gress pay more attention to one per-
sonal letter regarding a legislative is-
sue than to a petition with 250 names
o nit." Just to the degree that it is
more difficult to get a person to write
a letter than to sign a petition, just to
that degree does the letter have more
weight in Washington.
You've talked about patriotism and
like "Bobby make believe," imagined
yourself dropping a bomb on old Bill's
head but have you actually none any-
thing to help lick the Huns? Have
you? Well then here is your chance.
